Credit where credit is due
We are within 0.2 inches here of breaking the all time record snowfall
for January which was set in 1978. Meanwhile, Algore fought his way
through an ice storm in D.C. to deliver a speech about the urgency of
setting up broad and sweeping government interference in our daily
lives in order to rescue us from death and destruction due to global
warming. Conveniently ignoring the Inconvenient Truth that the
polar caps are in fine shape.
I must take my hat
off to the man. His consistency arouses my wondering respect. Facts
mean nothing to the man. Public ridicule does not faze him. He can look
reality straight in the eye and stare it down without a single blink.
You just gotta respect a politician with that much copper bottomed
gall.
Are the ice caps melting? Climate Science's Bipolar Disorder
Satellite records have been kept for polar sea ice over the last thirty years by the University Of Illinois. In 2007 2008, two very different records were set. The Arctic broke the previous record for the least sea ice area ever recorded, while the Antarctic broke the record for the most sea ice area ever recorded. Summed up over the entire earth, polar ice has remained constant. As seen below, there has been no net gain or loss of polar sea ice since records began......temperature records show that much of the Arctic (including Greenland) was warmer from 1920-1940 than now...
Ice - Surface melting revealed by the North Pole Environmental Observatory
The summers of 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006, as observed by the North Pole Web Cams, were very different. (see table below). The onset of melting is typically in early June, but occurred in late July in 2002, and late June in 2003 and 2004.
Western Greenland Ice Growing; Still Global WarmingDeep freeze in western Greenland
Minus 30 degrees Celsius. That's how cold it's been in large parts of western Greenland where the population has been bundling up in hats and scarves. At the same time, Denmark's Meteorological Institute states that the ice between Canada and southwest Greenland right now has reached its greatest extent in 15 years.
