“”Five years ago, to think that we’d even be talking about the possibility of the North Pole melting out in the summer, I would have never thought it,” he said.”
Gee, what a bunch of intellectual gaints. Who would have ever thought that the Polar Icecap might revert back to it’s state during the 10th Century when Greenland was discovered by the Vikings...
Actually, the polar ice melts pretty regularly, so anybody who couldn’t imagine it happening was stupid.
In 2000, it was all gone, and a couple of IPCC scientists expressed amazement at not finding ice, and said it had been 50 million years.
But later the NY Times had to pull the story, because it turned out the ice had been seen melted multiple times in the past 20 years.
This whole “artic ice melting” is a crock. And since we have pictures to prove it, and we have temperature sensor data to show it isn’t “global warming” that’s doing it, the only conclusion you can reach from articles like this is that the global warming scientists are willing to LIE to get what they want.
It’s not that they are confused, or ignorant — they know the truth, we have pictures, we have measurements, they simply lie about them in order to sway the public.
