   By the same measure, would not the US be considered a forest fire free zone?

   How about drought? Can we cram the dry area into those two states?

   In Europe we use Wales and Belgium as our countries to compare !

   Steven,

   Bill McKibbon published this whaler today. Wondering if you might have the time to rebutt this silliness.

   It depends what the definition of “is” is.

   So this year’s definition of “ice free” is one million km² – I predict that next year it will be changed to one million square miles 🙂

   Lol, was it last year or the year before that ice free meant the size of Egypt?

   “Raising of climatic temperature to a mean, specific, critical point, somehow dissociates moisture from the lower atmosphere.
   The more moisture used up, the drier and hotter the climate, the more dry air available to the
   Convection ‘Still.’ So, the more super-cooled air delivered at the Poles.
   Areas with drought conditions would be prevalent and widespread. Unexplainable ‘spot droughts would be conspicuous.
   The deserts would tend to migrate away from the Poles, ahead of cooler and wetter conditions. The vortex would centre over the point of greatest surface value of terrestrial G, in this case, the Poles.
   Thus, it seems there would always be extreme cold at the Poles (no matter where situated) so long as there were deserts and/or areas of dry air supply, in conjunction with required mean, specific, critical temperature.
   The nightmarish hurricanes etc which blast down from the Poles, would enter the lower atmosphere via the roaring circular cataracts over the Poles, the velocity of which would be easy to calculate from Density – Volume – Height.
   It would be analogous to a kind of ‘invisible super Niagara’, but none the less real…………….”

    “Barkeep! You sodden ass! I asked for a whiskey, neat!”
    “It’s ice-free, as you said.”
    “Nay, you son of a homosexual goat, it has three cubes of ice in’t.”
    “No, it has less than one million kilometres squared, ’tis utterly ice-free. Pay up.”

      Sounds like botox Pelosi “we have to pass this bill so we can find out what’s in’t.” Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
