A chilly Arctic summer has left 533,000 more square miles of ocean covered with ice than at the same time last year – an increase of 29 per cent.
The rebound from 2012’s record low comes six years after the BBC reported that global warming would leave the Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013.
Instead, days before the annual autumn re-freeze is due to begin, an unbroken ice sheet more than half the size of Europe already stretches from the Canadian islands to Russia’s northern shores.

Yes, but think how much worse global cooling would be if it weren’t for global warming.
We could be freezing our @$$3$ off soon, then the glaciers come down from Canada again.
Send a film crew and make it a real Reality Show.
Anyone else remember the episode of the show “In Search Of...” entitled The Coming Ice Age? It was the second to last episode in Season 2. I guess there wasn’t as much money to be made in promulgating that angle.
Good call there, Time. /s
I’m doing my part. Bought a second suv a year ago.
We are going through the one of the lowest sunspot activity cycles.

But they get the average is a limited number of years.
The Vikings still have not moved back to Greenland and started farming again.
How about a carbon tax deduction?
Correct
Actually, what I have seen (read) is that the process happens very fast, It takes only about ten to twenty years for it to start and the lasting effects are centuries long. The last mini ice age started rapidly and lasted for a very long time. Does it mean that we will be covered in ice in ten to twenty years? No, it means the process starts fast...so the process might take two hundred years to develop fully, or longer. My point is that we can survive globull warming-which was a scam, but we cannot survive a big ice age the way it (we) are now. And the thing runs in cycles no?
“Old growth ice”???
You just made my morning. Take a Made Tanniker Laugh Point.
