WASHINGTON Autumn temperatures in the Arctic are at record levels, the Arctic Ocean is getting warmer and less salty as sea ice melts, and reindeer herds appear to be declining, researchers reported Thursday.
"Obviously, the planet is interconnected, so what happens in the Arctic does matter" to the rest of the world, Jackie Richter-Menge of the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, N.H., said in releasing the third annual Arctic Report Card.
The report, compiled by 46 scientists from 10 countries, looks at a variety of conditions in the Arctic.
The region has long been expected to be among the first areas to show impacts from global warming, which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says is largely a result of human activities adding carbon dioxide and other gases to the atmosphere.

Oh noooo!

How will Santa pull the sleigh.
Those evil global warmers, they need to burn in . . .
Wait. maybe we need to shut that place down— its too hot. Let’s get right on that.

And elsewhere around the world, the average temperatures have been dropping since 2001.
The Global Scamming crowd’s propaganda has a hard-sell when the weather patterns don’t back up their bilge.
Too bad McCain won’t lead on principle on this issue.

Just the other day here on FR, there was a report by some guy that apparently lived in the area, stating that the ice had built up at an unprecedented rate, that snow was still left from the past winter deeper in most places than he had ever seen it and that this summer was the coldest in 18 years.
But what does he know?
He sure is stupid to think he knows more than those guys in Silver Springs, MD.

Here's the graph:
It's amazing how more ice is forming, what with the temperature being warmer and all...

He must have been measuring near the underwater volcano that has been spewing for a good while.

Must be because the water is less salty.

Next they’ll be saying that reindeer can only live on arctic ice. These lying chicken littles will stoop to anything to advance their agenda.

This all sounds really true, unless you happen to be actually living 100 miles south of the Arctic Circle, as I am right now.
Well, to put this in leftist lingo: “Don’t confuse me with the facts.”
