His science team is almost as sharp as his economic team!
…if you lose the summer sea ice, there are phenomena that could lead you not so very long thereafter to lose the winter sea ice as well. And if you lose that sea ice year round, it’s going to mean drastic climatic change all over the hemisphere.
– John Holdren
Climate change now means a suspension of the laws of thermodynamics? Will ice no longer form below the current freezing point of water, or did Hansen model the arctic to show it will no longer get cold there (under various – scenarios, right Tony) even in the winter. All that red on his models really does mean hot to the bedwetters.
A year round Arctic region would mean a more habitable Northern Hemisphere but it is a fantasy until the current Ice Age ends which would require a major reconfiguration of the Continental Plates to allow better circulation patterns for the ocean heat transport.
Give it time … 😉

What a bizarre government America has.
I cannot stop laughing… he and Gore are a pair! Maybe if the Earth’s interior hits Gore’s ‘scenario’ of ‘several million degrees’, the Earth’s crust will collapse and we will finally have that blue steam and an ice free Artic in winter!
Apparently Holdren has found Trenberth’s missing heat at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. Therefore, the Arctic sea ice will be melting even when the sun doesn’t shine at the North Pole from all the extra heat in the lower layers of the ocean that will be rising at the pole because of changing ocean currents due to that extra heat. Or something. Don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain. Shut up! CONSENSUS DAMN IT!
