The Greenland meltdown continues.
The capital of Greenland – Nuuk – is finishing the year with an average temperature of -1.9C, the coldest since 1995.
Temperatures in western Greenland have been declining for 80 years.
Rest assured that the press and the climate science community will spend many hours honestly discussing the cooling of Greenland, and the real reasons for sea level falling over the last decade.

The press won’t even remind us why it’s called Greenland.
Robert Purves, will put you right Steve.

16min 18secs in & says he’d like to take some climate sceptics to Greenland to witness the devastation, at 23mins.
It’s worse than we thought! The cooling, that is.
Obviously Hansen is a little behind on working his magic on the 2011 temperature…
I note that you’ve chosen a start date for the data of 1930. Why? As continuous records have been available from Nuuk since 1880, why not go back to then like your own link to GISS shows? If you do, you’ll see that a clear long-term warming trend is apparent which has increased dramatically (visible even on your own graph) since 1980. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/gistemp/gistemp_station.py?id=431042500000&data_set=1&num_neighbors=1
If you take a look at a greater spread of data you’ll get a much clearer picture. Try http://www.meltfactor.org/blog/?p=294 This is a well-referenced site with plenty of links to credible data.
Temperatures in Greenland are cooler now than when CO2 was 310 PPM. The 1930s were the peak. Temperatures in Greenland obviously have nothing to do with CO2.
John Russell:
There is plenty of data from Greenland ice sheets and sites where people used to live, that are uninhabitable today, showing that Greenland is colder today. Using unreliable surface temperature data, without allowing for known errors, is cherry picking and any date is fair game.
For a more reliable site, I would suggest this:

Both have well researched information available.
I’ll leave you with a little piece of Greenland farming propaganda from 2007, apparently used to dispute the idea they cannot farm.
