'The most recent update from Greenland’s ice found that 221bn tonnes of ice had been lost every year since 2003. The new study adds another 43bn tonnes a year, making the total loss about 30m tonnes an hour on average.'
This is 8,000 tonnes /second all the time. It's around the av flow of the Mississippi river. So the same rate of heating must extend across the Arctic as in Antarctica with record low ice. Many Mississippis. So far, the water is cool not boiling.

The sky is falling!!!!!!!!

True, the highest point in Greenland is 3,700m. and melt water drops down from there.

It is not like the ice melt is not going to freeze again by September onwards that year. By the time the ice melt gets to the sea, the fresh water will stick to the coast line (some getting caught up in the ocean currents) until the late Autumn comes around and freezes the water again. You then have expanded ice sheets.

The trend is down, staying down.
