I clicked on that link half expecting to see salacious pics of hot, yet frosty, mermaid-like creatures. But what’s actually there is still pretty cool. Ummm, figuratively and, and least ‘til global warming sets in, literally.

Yeah, the fraud and fakery went unpunished in the UK, and the election of 2010 caused the criminal demagogic co-conspirators in and out of media to double down.

Like a lot of things, early real estate sales pitches could be a bit on the crude side....

If every bit of Arctic sea ice were to melt it wouldn’t raise sea level one bit. OTOH: Increased precipitation in the Arctic would present interesting problems.

Twisted hokus - pokus.

A warmer ocean would mean increased precipitation, and ultimately, thicker ice everywhere.

Basic meteorology.

But little attention has been paid to the impact of warmer water beneath the ice.

Comments like this make me, a mild believer in AGW, really, really wonder WTF are these AGW people thinking. You are telling me that with all their so called models, no one has ever taken this into consideration? WTF? This statement is an embarrassment..

I remember learning about the potential effects of a nuclear war on climate in high school. The clouds of dust and airborne particles would block the sun and create a
“Nuclear Winter”.
So I say we zap China,Russia,Venezuela and after telling Israel to duck,nuke the rest of the Middle East the short distance it would be back to the stone age.
Global warming cancelled. [semi-sarcastic]

As long as the ice in my Margarita doesn’t melt any faster than I can drink it, things will be fine in my little corner of the world! :)

Thank you. I tried somewhat arbitrarily tried June 1 from both years, and the 2011 seemed to have a little more ice of 1979.
