CNBC Falsifies Study To Claim Greenland Melting From Climate Change
CNBC prophesied global destruction as a result of “human-caused climate change,” based on a study published by a liberal science journal.
“A massive ice sheet in Greenland is set to raise global sea levels by nearly a foot by the end of this century, in a melting event driven by human-caused climate change,” CNBC freaked out in an Aug. 29 story.
There was just one problem with CNBC’s claim. The original study, published by Nature, never mentioned the words “human,” “people,” “fossil fuel,” “oil,” “gas” or “person” once.
So much for “human-caused climate change.” CNBC appears to have arbitrarily inserted that language into its report.
Climate Depot founder Marc Morano told MRC Business that fearmongering over the Greenland ice sheet is an old media trick:
“Here they go again. When current reality fails to alarm, the media makes scarier and scarier predictions of the future. Hyping another frightening computer model projection of sea level rise is old hat for the media.”
Nature had previously endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020, publishing an editorial two-and-half weeks before the election headlined, “Why Nature supports Joe Biden for US president.”
“We cannot stand by and let science be undermined,” the article whined. “Joe Biden’s trust in truth, evidence, science, and democracy make him the only choice in the US election.”
Sounds like Nature is just another rubber-stamp organization for Biden’s extreme green agenda. More recently, it released a propaganda piece celebrating Biden’s $740 billion “Inflation Reduction Act”: “Scientists welcome ‘enormous’ US climate bill — but call for stronger action.”
On the same day that CNBC published its apocalyptic story, another report came out completely undercutting the eco-doom narrative.
The Greenland ice sheet gained seven gigatons of mass in just one day — the largest daily gain ever recorded during the summer, according to Disclose TV’s summary of data from Arctic research institution Polar Portal.
That fact alone calls into question the Nature study that CNBC mischaracterized.
The research published in Nature predicted that 3.3 percent of Greenland’s ice sheet will melt, which would theoretically cause sea levels to rise about 10 inches between now and 2100.
The outlet continued to push misinformation on the effects of so-called climate change on Greenland. “Climate change from the burning of fossil fuels has led to longer summers in Greenland and accelerated the retreat of glaciers and the island country’s ice cap.”
Again, the Nature study did not once cite the terms “fossil fuel” or “oil.”
The CNBC reporter who wrote the article, Emma Newburger, did not respond to a request for comment on the recent report that the Greenland ice sheet gained seven gigatons of mass in one day.

The main stream media NEVER EVER TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING . They alter , delete , edit , omit and add wording to fit their narratives 100% of the time and have been doing that for decades .
A small example of main stream media sources below , all listed names are guilty of it and can NEVER be trusted.
Cnn, Msnbc, Abc, Cbs, Nbc, Cnbc, HuffPost, NYT, WashPost, The AP, BuzzFeed, Politico, NewsWeek, The Hill, Rolling Stone, Twitter , Sky News, Mediate, The Atlantic, USA Today, Time magazine, LA Times, Politifact, Reuters, Facebook , BBC, Wikipedia, Boston Globe, Vox, The Miami Herald, Mother Jones, Instagram, Factcheck .or, HLN , Yahoo, MSN, NY Daily News, Vice, Univision, People magazine, PBS, NPR, New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, Daily Beast, Bloomberg, Aurn, National Journal, BI ,
It’s very very very difficult to find factual information these days since all search engines only link to propaganda sources .
Try searching for political info on Google and other main stream search engines for instance , the ONLY links they will show you are from the above sources . Twitter and Facebook will also ONLY link to the above sources .
99.9% of all factcheckers are liberal owned and funded as well and their sole purpose is to confirm the lies that the above sources report . It fools a lot of people because they truly believe factcheckers are legit factcheckers but nothing could be further from the truth .
By far the best way to know with 100% certainty what’s factual info is to seek out what the above listed sources insist is disinformation because what they claim is disinformation and not trustworthy is ALWAYS 100% trustworthy .
What the above sources promote as real news IS NEVER EVER real news .

Andy, would it be possible to say on which day of August this year that the Greenland ice sheet increased by 9 cubic kilometres? If one quotes this fact it will be questioned as false if I cannot say on which date this occurred. Thanks, Doug Harrison

Hi Doug. Please excuse me for cutting in, I appreciate Kiwis need to be given space to breath.
Electroverse records August 29 as the date of gain although I have not found the verification source from the Danish Meteorological Office. For the sake of under promising and over delivering one could call it a record accumulation over three days, peaking on the 29th.

Extract from the above referenced article.
‘Case in point is yesterday’s (Aug 29’s) record-smashing 7 Gigaton GAIN — a reading that would be impressive and at time of year, but one that has entered the books as the largest ever daily gain during the summer (with data extending back to the 1980s).’

Hi Doug, as we are unable to add images here, the best thing I think would be to have a look at the article as Matt suggested above, in which I included images I’d saved from the Danish Meteorological Institute’s website. You can see it on the weblink I’ll add at the end of this comment, and there is a scroll bar under the image to hightlight any day you wish to see. You can then take screenshots that include the dates – http://polarportal.dk/en/greenland/surface-conditions/
