Arctic Sees Massive Gain in Ice Coverage Michael Asher (Blog) - September 3, 2008 2:44 PM
Increase twice the size of Germany: "colder weather" to blame.
Data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) has indicated a dramatic increase in sea ice extent in the Arctic regions. The growth over the past year covers an area of 700,000 square kilometers: an amount twice the size the nation of Germany.
With the Arctic melting season over for 2008, ice cover will continue to increase until melting begins anew next spring.
The data is for August 2008 and indicates a total sea ice area of six million square kilometers. Ice extent for the same month in 2007 covered 5.3 million square kilometers, a historic low. Earlier this year, media accounts were rife with predictions that this year would again see a new record. Instead, the Arctic has seen a gain of about thirteen percent.

SEE? SEE? GLOBAL WARMING IN GOING TO CAUSE ANOTHER ICE AGE!!!
Damn. What am I going to do with all these carbon credits?
Quick, write a doctoral dissertation about this!
I don’t understand. Digg has all these articles on the new northwest passage - where one can jump in and swim cuz it’s so warm. They wouldn’t lie, would they?
Nahhhhhhhhh
Nobody tell Al Gore. He might go on another eating binge and gain 75 lbs. more again.
Hold on to them for now. When this global cooling stops and global warming returns, say about 10 months, the credits will recover their original value and more! Remember, don’t panic! Carbon credits have never been worth nothing.
This must be a lie, I just saw a thread on the FACT that this has been the warmest decade in 13,000 years!
This can’t be, where is my parka, I may need it in Wilmington NC.
Justice!
I’ve been saying this since Gore began bloviating about Global Warming and Climate Change. Ice melts, water freezes. Ice comes and goes seasonally. Even 40 years of measurement is a blink of an eye in the earth’s history. The Vikings were growing row crops and raising livestock outdoors on Greenland’s west coast in the 11th century. That type of farming is impossible there today.
Warmer temps cause more ice? Who’da knowed it?
It’s worse than that. The latest Mars Lander has sent-back pictures of rusted SUVs protruding from the Martian soil...
But how can this be? We just saw stories a few days ago about 12 polar bears swimming in the open ocea because there was no ice. Could it be that someone was not telling the truth?

someone is full of sh#t. With the cooling trend since 2000 and low Solar constant I’m thinking it’s the AP.....
I like the part where they just gloss over the extended cooling in the antarctic.
Don’t you know that the North Pole is where we measure climate change— not the south pole?
You need to be an advanced scientist to understand why this is.
Wrote you comment then thought better. You beat me to it.
I beginning to think give the liberal press all the air time they want. Good ole American commons sense will kick in eventually and bankrupt this Bull S.
But that can’t be true al, the inventor of the internet and snakeoil salesman, is telling the people that the world is melting and we need to suffer those result we brought upon ourselve, well except for himself that is.
Little known fact: Sarah Palin leaves Alaska for St. Paul. Artic starts to freeze back from it’s Palin induced melt.
That's because the Vikings starting driving all those Volvos. Oh wait, the Vikings didn't have Volvos. Nevermind.....
