In Canada, "Polar 5", a research aircraft, has ended its recent Arctic expedition today. During the flight, scientists were measuring the ice thickness in regions that have never been seen from airplanes. The result: the sea ice is apparently thicker than scientists suspected.

Under normal conditions, the ice is formed within two years and ends up being slightly above 2 meters of thickness. "Here, the thickness was as high as four meters," said the spokesperson for the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven. According to the scientists, this conclusion seems to contradict the warming of the ocean water.

Especially Al Gore. The hot air he spews everytime he opens his pie hole will cause it to melt.

But Al Gore says the ice caps are melting... and will go on saying that the ice caps are melting... as will every sticky-fingered environmental wacko with political agendas divorced from scientific inquiry.

These Canadian troublemakers must not have gotten the word from Algore: “The evidence is in. The debate is over.”

"Scientists" have been drinking far too much AGW Kool-Aid to have reasonable suspicions about much lately.

Al Gore: saving the earth by becoming a one-man carbon sink. Now keeping 100 kg of carbon sequestered from the rest of the environment.

Is it legal to discuss these matters in an open forum?
