Two ice shelves in Canada's far north have lost massive sections since August while a third ice shelf now is adrift in the Arctic Ocean, said researchers Wednesday who blamed climate change.

The text doesn’t say anything about the amount of ice there is this season, it just makes it look like “what little is left, is going away”

OMG! Ice never melted before. That’s why Chicago is still under 1 mile of ice.

THE EARTH IS CHANGING EVERY MOMENT....It's zipping in its' orbit at 67,000 miles per hour, rotating on its' axis and "wigglin", too.
We know ABSOLUTELY that it's temperature has flucuated during the time of its' existance from a deep cold to today. There is no real "mean".
Volcanoes blow off steam, earthquakes rubble, the winds fluctuate, sea levels rise and fall, animals NATURALLY become extinct.
In the realm of the whole, we are miniscule. Man is the soul of the earth...not its' maker.

Apparently this loser crap scientist missed the earlier article this afternoon talking about the arctic ice sheet being about double the thickness and that it’s growing rapidly.
The one thing we can thank ‘global warming’ for is exposing all the crap scientists we should not give very much credit to when it comes to predictions.
