A few weeks ago experts were telling us that the Arctic sea ice was going to be a record low, or completely ice-free. During May, winds pushed the ice edge back in the Beaufort Sea leading to endless predictions of doom.
Nothing much has changed since then in the Beaufort Sea.

The press is full of fake stories by fake scientists about a fake Greenland meltdown and a fake Arctic sea ice collapse. But that is just how the world works in 2016.
Looks like that 1981-2000 meaningless mean is getting stale. Next year it should be updated to 1997-2016.

Less than a month before the temperatures head south.
My favourite scam right now is the Solar Impulse.
It cost 150 million Euro and has a cruising air speed of 70km/hr. It is simply a promo for solar panel companies and the UN carbon tax scam.
Fedor Konyukhov’s balloon cost more than 145 million Euro less than Solar Impulse and is cruising across Australia at over 90km/hr

In 48 hours he has travelled from west coast of Australia to NSW border or almost 3000 km.
