Greenland’s Ice Cover has melted

From NASA Science News for July 24, 2012:

For several days this month, Greenland's surface ice cover melted over a larger area than at any time in more than 30 years of satellite observations. Nearly the entire ice cover of Greenland experienced some degree of melting, according to measurements from three independent satellites. Extent of surface melt over Greenland’s ice sheet on July 8 (left in the pictue) and July 12 (right in the picture). Measurements from three satellites showed that on July 8, about 40 percent of the ice sheet had undergone thawing at or near the surface. In just a few days, the melting had dramatically accelerated and an estimated 97 percent of the ice sheet surface had thawed by July 12.

Do you think the Greenland ice melt could have anything to do with the massive solar flare, or CME, that left Sun on July 12 and bombarded the earth on July 14? It is interesting that NASA surmised we would feel the force of the solar flare on July 14, yet the Greenland ice sheet showed almost complete thawing on July 12, the very day the solar flare left the sun. The full article stated that the earth (and of course space) was full of high UV radiation on July 12.
