North Pole Melted Summer 2008

Back in June, numerous prominent voices in the scientific community expressed fears of a mass melting of the polar ice caps, including David Barber, of the University of Manitoba, who told National Geographic Magazine, Were actually projecting this year that the North Pole may be free of ice for the first time [in history].
This summers forecast—and unusual early melting events all around the Arctic—serve as a dire warning of how quickly the polar regions are being affected by climate change, adds the article.
In February, Dr. Olav Orheim, head of the Norwegian International Polar Year Secretariat, told Xinhua, If Norways average temperature this year equals that in 2007, the ice cap in the Arctic will all melt away, which is highly possible judging from current conditions.
According to collated data from the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and the University of Illinois, Arctic ice extent was 30 per cent greater on August 11, 2008 than it was on the August 12, 2007. This is a conservative estimate based on the map projection.
Some of the islands in the Canadian Archipelago are surrounded by more ice than they were during the summer of 1980.
But what of the Antarctic down south? Figures tell us that ice coverage in the year since August 2007 has grown by nearly one million square kilometers.
As The Register article notes, The Arctic did not experience the meltdowns forecast by NSIDC and the Norwegian Polar Year Secretariat. It didnt even come close. Additionally, some current graphs and press releases from NSIDC seem less than conservative. There appears to be a consistent pattern of overstatement related to Arctic ice loss.
A general cooling trend across the planet is now clearly apparent as sunspot activity, the main driver of climate change, dwindles to almost nothing.
As we reported last week, A top observatory that has been measuring sun cycles for over 200 years predicts that global temperatures will drop by two degrees over the next two decades as solar activity grinds to a halt and the planet drastically cools down, potentially heralding the onset of a new ice age.
While the mass media, Al Gore and politicized bodies like the IPCC scaremonger about the perils of global warming and demand the poor and middle class pay CO2 taxes, both hard scientific data and circumstantial evidence points to a clear cooling trend.
How man-made global warming advocates will spin this one remains to be seen - maybe they will just continue to adopt their current tactic by claiming that any geological or weather event whatsoever, be it hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts or floods, temperature increase or decrease, and even a 30 per cent growth of the polar ice cap - is a result of that evil life-giving gas that we exhale - CO2.~Prison Planet

We Russians understood better about the North Pole more than you Amerikansky. It is a well known fact to paleo-climatologists and geologists that the North Pole has been without ice periodically from time to time in geological time and sea levels has risen and fallen from time to time. It is just a normal cycle made by the Sun's SOLAR CYCLE AND ACTIVE UNDERSEA VOLCANOES PRODUCING ICE MELTING HOW WATER RISING TO THE SURFACE. This is a strategy to save the exposed Global Warming FRAUD we exposed!

@darthvader5300 Yes you Russians did expose the AGW fraud. Thanks!!

@johnknoefler It is obvious you have not heard of our Cold War Era developed multi-router/re-router that can use to bounce off several foreign computers until reaching the United States and using an American family's computer without them knowing it and even using it as if it's our own even though it is us the FSB (formerly known as the KGB) who's using their US-based computer(s). It is obvious you are not a Cold War generation person.

@darthvader5300 Now you are living in fantasy land. Remind me what year the cold war ended? And what year did the PC become available? Back to reality .

[pnkearns]

Didn't happen. Ice is back to 1979 levels.  What a load of b.s.

Fox news should be shut down for the mediocre reporting. The year 2008 marked the tenth consecutive year of no global warming. This is not widely reported or known. In fact the Earth has been cooling for the last 6 years.

@johnknoefler i love you and your comment makes me happy

@moneymayhem2000 "combust? As in Combustion?

Are you saying that when water freezes it burns? Really? Or are you trying to say that when water freezes it contracts? As in gets smaller? HaHa!

Water at ordinary temperatures contracts and increases in density as it is cooled, like most substances. At about 4°C it reaches maximum density and decreases in density as it approaches the freezing point.

Water expands upon freezing, so that water freezes from the top down.

@johnknoefler When water freezes it combusts you numpty.

[silvergreentrader]

hmm, well i guess we will have to wait and see, if you look out your window and theres ice everywhere, and you are in the middle of new mexico then the earth cooled, if you are swimming in the rocky mountains then the earth is warming.

@TheSouthParkBoy1000 Global warming already ended. So now be nice to the retarded kids from south park
