Do you consult your dentist about your heart condition? In science, as in any area, reputations are based on knowledge and expertise in a field and on published, peer-reviewed work. If you need surgery, you want a highly experienced expert in the field who has done a large number of the proposed operations.
As planet warms, Greenland grows darker
The ice sheet covering Greenland is growing darker in response to global warming, new satellite data show, an effect that reaches into the interior and has altered virtually the entire surface of the island.
The darkening also feeds on itself: The less reflective the ice sheet becomes, the more warmth it absorbs, and the more melting accelerates.
The ice sheet now reflects as much as 20 percent less sunlight during summer than it did from 2000 to 2006.
