Arctic Sea Ice shows a recovery but NASA is not telling you
Examiner ^ | October 23, 2009 | Tony Pann

The latest report of arctic sea ice was released, since the September minimum has passed and ice is now reforming as winter approaches. The National Snow and Ice Data Center report states that this was the third lowest amount of sea ice on record, but I contend that is missing the point. In this era of dire claims of climate marred by the controversy of global cooling, public dissent, and early season snow, a NASA follow up report appears to ignore the good news: The arctic sea ice is actually expanding!

--snip--

The first lines of a press release from the NSIDC did state this:

At the end of the Arctic summer, more ice cover remained this year than during the previous record-setting low years of 2007 and 2008. However, sea ice has not recovered to previous levels. September sea ice extent was the third lowest since the start of satellite records in 1979, and the past five years have seen the five lowest ice extents in the satellite record.

Polar ice has only been studied extensively for 30 years. That small amount of solid data is only part of what many believe to be a larger cycle. It is entirely possible that we have turned the corner, and the recovery of ice has already begun on its own. Even the EPA had a scientiic report that the planet has been cooling for the past decade, and covered it up...

NASA just says what their benefactors tell them to say.

We have to have a government agency tell us this?

Nothing is going to stop the climate deal in Copenhagen in December or cap and trade legislation. Certainly not pesky things like facts. Not when there are billions (trillions?) to be made off taxing the proles.

You should ask them to figure out whether ice is cold and which direction the sun rises from.

No doubt Obama will get another Nobel prize for that.

WEATHERING A CLIMATE OF HATE

Poor old Paul Hudson. The inoffensive cheeky chappy, who presents the weather on the BBC in Yorkshire, has found himself a hate object among the fringes of the environmental movement. Hudson’s crime? Well, to borrow a phrase, he told “an inconvenient truth” – that global warming has stopped. In an article headlined “Whatever happened to global warming?” on the BBC website, Hudson noted that the warmest year of recent times wasn’t 2007 or 2008, but 1998, and global temperatures have not increased at all in the intervening 11 years, despite increasing carbon emissions.

It all makes sense. With the advent of Obama, that cold day in he!! couldn’t be far behind.

As far as I can see, 30 years of studying sea ice levels really doesn’t amount to much.

NASA will say nothing until the global warming scam is no longer financially viable, and then it can formulate a dire catastrophe which it can unleash on the world right curing their budget negotiations. Give it until mid winter, and NASA can come up with a 3d animation about the fleet of solar reflecting satellites they need to focus more sun on the planet to warm it up.

>> Arctic Sea Ice shows a recovery but NASA is not telling you

The title should state “expansion” instead of “a recovery” to avoid the controversial implication of unnatural, adverse conditions.

In other news, the Sun rose this morning.

Thought all the ice at the North Pole was supposed to be gone by the end of last fall.
