Melting Greenland glacier is growning again.

TVNZ: Once melting glacier is now growing.

A major Greenland glacier that was one of the fastest shrinking ice and snow masses on Earth is growing again, a new NASA study finds.

The Jakobshavn glacier around 2012 was retreating about 3 kilometres and thinning nearly 40 metres annually.

But it started growing again at about the same rate in the past two years, according to a study in  Nature Geoscience. Study authors and outside scientists think this is temporary.

Temporary. As in it might freeze and grow for a while, and then some time later melt, and then re-freeze again? As in, climate changes? As in, the temperature and weather tomorrow will not be exactly the same as today or as yesterday? Weather fluctuates? No, it can't be. 

The glacier is not unlike the ice cubes in my rums and cokes. The cubes melt...for a while...and then get replenished. Science is amazing. Go figure.
