But but but its not deep ice, but but but its not old growth ice, but but but....
Well...that's true. Old growth ice is what you want....if you know anything about sea ice. Young ice melts very easily. The good news about the growth this year is this will be 2 year ice next summer and will be harder to melt.
What the AGW crowd doesn't want people to know is that the majority of the melt in the arctic hasn't been the result of higher temps, but of a change in the currents. That has pushed the ice pack south and into warmer temps...thus making the pack harder to melt. These will change and those predicting an ice free summer will still be looking for it 50 years from now....'cause it ain't gonna happen.
The earth is warming because of man and his activities. This is settled science.
Just because there are inconvenient facts like the photos shown in this article and the fact that there has been NO WARMING for 15 years mean nothing. Who are you going to believe, a million scientists or your own eyes and common sense?
“Old growth ice”???
You just made my morning. Take a Made Tanniker Laugh Point.
