w00t? w00t? you mean the earth heals itself?
Wow! That Obama guy really works fast!!!!!
Sorry. You lose. Global climate change either warmer or cooler results from green house gas emissions which need to be reduced by carbon cap and trade schemes. Osama just said so and he has been elected.
Somebody call Al
send Al up there his Hot Air will melt it
Mainstream news headline— Obama Halts Global Warming....
wow.. the anointed one does have a world wide effect on everything. /s
Everyone knows that the sea ice is only growing at the fastest rate in recorded history exactly BECAUSE of global warming. /s
We’re all going to die ! -—er -— freeze to death!
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the 2008 melt season was the higher-than-average retention of first-year sea ice (see earlier entries, including April 7). Relatively thin first-year ice is more prone to melting out completely than older, thicker ice. However, more of this years first-year ice survived the melt season than is typical. Sea ice age maps from Sheldon Drobot, our colleague at the University of Colorado at Boulder, show that much more first-year ice survived in 2008 than in 2007. This is one of the reasons that 2008 did not break last year’s record-low minimum.
One cause of the high first-year ice survival rate was that this summer was cooler than in 2007. Lower temperatures slowed the melt rate in the early part of the season. While conditions in August favored rapid ice loss, they were not enough to make up for this early-season “cushion.” Furthermore, much of this year’s first-year ice was located at higher latitudes than in 2007, covering even the geographic North Pole. Regions that are far north have lower melt rates because they receive less solar energy than more southerly regions.
Figure 4. Ice motion in 2007 compacted the ice pack; in 2008, ice motion did not have this effect. Average August ice motion captures the differences between the two years, with black arrows indicating ice motion. Sea ice motion derived using data from the NASA AMSR-E sensor.

Democrats better enact all of their global warning garbage quickly. Otherwise they will never be able to claim credit for the current cooling cycle.
Run for your lives! Ice Age!
Another reason McLame lost, global warming MY ASS!
Nov. 6 2007 and Nov. 6 2008 sea ice.

It’s a fun site to look at the sea ice in the Arctic.
hmmm...sea ice is increasing and it is November...sounds to me like winter’s coming...but what do I know? I’m just a dumb farmer...
But, but, but what about global warming?
These science bimbos just don’t understand God, do they?
