The real story is that Arctic Ice VOLUME continues to diminish unabated. What will that mean to temperatures when solar energy — that normally would have been reflected back into space — when there is no reflecting ice left at the north pole?
Arctic volume has increased substantially over the last three years.
At the angle of incidence water is more reflective than jumbled and packed ice so more energy would be reflected by smooth water than dirty pack ice.
Arctic Ice volume has increased in the last 3 years?!?
Water is LESS reflecting than ice?!?
Where do you guys get your information — from the back of “fat-free” cereal boxes?
NSIDC and PIPS2
Being hysterical doesn’t make you intelligent.
oops — I meant ice is LESS reflecting than water?!?!?!?!
