Arctic sea ice melt still heavy, but no record

WASHINGTON – The summer melt of Arctic sea ice wasn’t quite as bad this year as the last two years. But it still ranked as the third biggest melt on record.

The National Snow and Ice Data Center announced Thursday that the Arctic sea ice reached its annual low last week. Ice extended just shy of 2 million square miles. That’s 620,000 square miles less than the 30-year average.

But there was more ice this September than the record low set in 2007 — about one-third of a million square miles more. Last year ranked No. 2.

You can't tell if it is a pause, an end or a reversal until after many years. The fact that they automatically used pause shows that they are biased in favor of reporting global warming.

Arctic sea ice reaches annual minimum

Arctic sea ice appears to have reached its lowest extent for 2009. This year’s minimum is the third-lowest extent since the start of satellite measurements in 1979.

Well, speaking as a guy with a garden located about 100 miles south of the Arctic Circle, I can’t wait for the onset of global warming. Our last frost this year was on June 4; our first frost of the fall was on Aug. 20. Some additonal growing season might just help out there. More browse for the moose would be a good thing, too - an increase in habitat as well, and since salmon live all the way down to northern California, I don’t think they’ll vanish any time soon - although some nice silvers for those folks on the north slope.

long term trend....Obviously, this new growth blows that theory...

Long term trend = GUESS

Peta has saved so many baby seals that their little furry coats are shielding the ice from the sun.

But scientists note the long-term trend is still downwards.

Interesting how supposed scientists can talk about a long term trend when they have a whopping 30 years of data for an earth that they claim to be 4.5 billion years old.
