Impressive Greenland SMB Gains; Bone-Chilling Lows Grip Northern India; + Australia’s Record-Cold May
Impressive Greenland SMB Gains
Following last season’s impressive performance, the Greenland ice sheet is at it again in 2022-23.
Throughout the month of May, a time when the Surface Mass Balance (SMB) readings would normally be trending down as we near the summer melt season, Greenland has instead formed an uptrend, culminating in Wednesday’s SMB gains of approx. 4 Gigatons — a new record for the time of year in Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) books dating back to 1981.
After the season’s record-breaking start, Greenland’s snow/ice measurements now appear ready to post a strong close, too.
This is a similar setup to last season where summer also proved historically cold with frequent powerful snowstorms.
It also continues the ice sheet’s overall return to growth, after losing mass from 1996 to 2012.
The MSM has fallen eerily silent re. Greenland of late.
Unalarming glacial data doesn’t serve their hackneyed ‘catastrophism agenda’ all too well, and reporting on it honestly would risk halting the constant intravenous-dispensation of fear to the masses.
This is all the MSM are tasked with nowadays, perhaps it has always been the case; a population forever scared, always looking over their shoulder for the next ‘catastrophe’ threatening to ruin them are far easier to keep under the thumb, to own and control, to rule.

Bone-Chilling Lows Grip Northern India
India’s hill state of Himachal Pradesh has seen the mercury plummet to new monthly lows this week.
Typically, May is a time for blooming flowers and gentle breezes; this year, however, the month has delivered a rain-soaked spectacle –with the final week receiving 325% more than usual– and truly “bone-chilling temperatures … leaving both locals and tourists in awe,” reports himachalscape.com.
Dr. Surendra Paul, director of the Meteorological Center Shimla, said that due to the continuous rains a “huge drop in the temperature” has been observed — a drop of 7C in the average maximum across the state, with a drop of 4C in the minimum.
Keylong has posted the lowest temperature in recent days — an astonishing 4.8C; while Kalpa, Shimla, Kukumasiri, Bharmour, and Narkanda also all witnessed significant plunges.
Looking ahead, relief from the cold and rain will be a ways off.
India’s Meteorological Department has warned that temperatures will sink even further Friday and has put nine Himachal Pradesh districts on an orange alert as a result, followed by a yellow alert for the next three days.
Australia’s Record-Cold May
It’s been a professionally torrid time for Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology of late. Tasked with pushing a warming catastrophe upon an frustratingly-awake (not woke) public, Mother Nature is flat-out refusing to play ball.
May 2023 was exceptionally cold across the Aussie continent.
So cold, in fact, that well-over 100 weather stations registered their coldest May temperatures ever recorded.
Frosts extending as far north as tropical Queensland and the Northern Territory were commonplace throughout May, as were early-season dumpings of snow across the southeast ranges.
ABC meteorologist Tom Saunders said Sydney faced its coldest May since 1970, with the mean temperature parked at just 15C (59F); while the average minimum in the city was barely 10C (50F), according to Bom data, making it the coldest since 1957.
Elsewhere, Melbourne got in on the cold act, posting an anomalously-low mean of a little over 13C (55.4F).
Brisbane, too, continued its cooling trend.
Last winter (2022) was the city’s coldest winter in recorded history, and following colder-than-average months/seasons ever since, May 2023 has extended the stretch with an average minimum of 11.8C (53.2F) — its coldest May for 29 years, since 1994.
Canberra also endured frosty night-time lows, posting 18 minimums below the freezing mark. The capital city posted an overall mean of 7.8C, making for its coldest in over a decade. Darwin, too, suffered a colder-than-average month, as did Western and Southern burbs, such as Perth and Adelaide, respectively.
Though away from the Urban Heat Island effect, temperatures held far lower: Vast expanses of the Australian Outback, for example, logged average readings 10C below the monthly norm.
Australia’s warm-mongering Bureau of Meteorology got their autumn divinations spectacularly wrong, literally upside-down–as has been the case the past 7-or-so seasons, but maybe it’ll be eighth time lucky…? Winter 2023, according to the BoM, is not expected to drop below average with the agency calling for “a warmer than average June through August,” thanks, in no small part, to the influence of “rising global temperatures due to climate change”.
How much longer will this farce, this abject failure of a ‘theory’ be forwarded by our ungodly establishment?
Things are coming to a head –one way or another– as real-world observations continue to 1) upend the official messaging, and 2) awaken more and more folk to the wild discrepancies (lies) at play.
However, don’t expect a clean victory here, the elites will not lay down quietly — they have no reason to, their plan is working perfectly: Who among us will have the bent to question ‘suspect’ government temperature datasets when we’re too busy struggling to heat our homes and feed our families given purposely dwindling supplies of each of these basic necessities.
This is a controlled demolition of society, I have no doubt about it, a take-down of humanity’s hard, multi-century-earned prosperity in order for our parasitical overlords to ‘build back better’ in their name, alone.
I just tried to Google “is Greenland ice growing” and according to the results i was presented from “trustworthy” sources is does not at all grow.
It is melting fast and at an alarming rate. Also the glaciers are meting at an alarming rate.
It’s obviously not the case in the real world, but it shows how far we have come in the “post truth” world. Its quite frightening how openly facts are denied to keep a narrative going.
It’s true, if a lie is repeated enough the majority will believe it no matter how insane.
This combined with AI and soon Quantum computers paints a disturbing picture for the future.
I found this article

Strangely, my comment referring to dmi data and saying that they were cherry picking facts to support an alarmist agenda hasn’t been approved. I’ve asked them to explain why a science department at a reputable university is censoring facts but don’t expect any response.
The dmi defines the start of the Greenland melt season as the first of 3 consecutive days when there’s melting over at least 5% of the ice sheet, regardless of whether or not the SMB shows a gain. Last year the melt season started on 28th May which is 2 days latter than the 1981-2010 average. The melt season has yet to start this year and looking at the weather models is unlikely to start for at least another 5 days. I’m not sure if this would set a new record for the latest ever, or if the dmi will even say when it starts given it’s very late. If they do no doubt they’ll add that it doesn’t prove that climate change isn’t happening, as they did last year.

Cold record, Ever. All-time.
-7.7°C today 1.6 in Enontekiö Saana is a new national June cold record for Finland.
Previous record was -7.0C in Inari Laanila on 3 June 1962.
Yes it seems that we will have frost threath next coming nights (2nd & 3rd) also here in southern Finland. We got some sleet and hail already. I need to cover my brassicas, cucumbers, squash etc which I already planted. 19 th May I lost some of my early potatoes and peas.. due to the night frost..
Over here in the former American democracy. The congress, headed by the republicans, that has no problem forcing American families to make due with less just voted to give Biden every thing he needs to drive us off a cliff preparing for global warming that just isn’t going to happen. I am ashamed that I ever supported the republicans at all. Never again.
The old joke about calming down a catfish to remove the hook. mccarthy asked the fishing guide how he makes the catfish so calm for hook removal. The guide said mind control. Pick up the catfish stare it in the eye and use mind control to calm it down. McCarthy picked up the catfish stared it in the eyes and started gasping for breath.
No doubt when you pass away you’ll start voting Democrat.
The answer isn’t “never again,” the answer is to vote out the bums who are part of the uni party. If you don’t vote or if you vote for an independent, you will just be voting Democrat, supporting the people who have created all the problems in America.
Same here. I left the Dems 39 years ago and the R Party in 2002. And now they are dead to me after McCarthy shafted all Americans…well not Biden…he gave hima b… J..!
I think you’re reading the Greenland mass balance graph incorrectly. The units are Gt/yr, which is a rate. This suggests that the graph is plotting year-over-year change in the total mass, doesn’t it? If that’s the case, then the total mass is still shrinking, since the data points since 1996 have all (more or less) been negative. It’s true that the rate of decrease has been dropping, and may turn positive soon, but it’s still shrinking according to this plot.
The trend is up, substantially, and –although the data is missing on my chart– TMB has turned positive.
Good point. Thanks. Everyone is susceptible to confirmation bias.
2nd June night frost in southern Finland.. Lappeenranta -2 C
Threat of frost in European (Russia) remains.
Over the past two days, the air temperature in this area has been below normal by 1-3 degrees.
In Murmansk, Leningrad, Pskov, Novgorod and Karelia regions, the minimum temperature dropped to -1..-4°C.
Frosts were also observed in the central regions. The temperature dropped to minus values in the Tver region.
In the Vologda region, the temperature will drop to -1°C, in the Leningrad region and Karelia to -2°C, in the Pskov and Novgorod regions to -3°C.
In the Central Federal District, frosts down to -1°C are likely in the Moscow and Kaluga regions, down to -2°C in the Yaroslavl, Smolensk and Tver regions.

Not only are the min temps are low. But the max temps…aren’t maximum, no more than 13…17°C. There will definitely be warm days, but I wonder if it will be enough for a bountiful harvest?
