“The Arctic we see today is very different from the Arctic we saw even five years ago,” Jackie Richter-Menge, the report’s chief technical editor, said in a statement. “It’s a warmer place with less thick and more mobile sea ice, warmer and fresher ocean water, and increased stress on caribou, reindeer, polar bears and walrus in some regions.”
Scary stuff. That hasn’t ever happened before!

The left side is 1979, pretty much the beginning of the satellite data era *and* coincidentally the peak of a cold cycle.
The rights side is 2011, and 32 years after that cold cycle.
Make the AGW cultist explain why they believe the Arctic in 2011 should be expected to match that cold period.
The truth is that a sane person would expect exactly what we are seeing now.
Interesting that they compared 1922 to 1917.. just a few years.. The difference now is that they become hysterical about it, attributing it to the evil human race, and citing danger to “cute” wildlife.
Years from now, historians will also be hysterical, only this time with laughter, at present day alarmists.
We all know that the world was created in 1979. Anything before 1979 was before the beginning of time.
Yes, it’s been warmer than lately before, but it’s not there now. So, he is wrong, but his wrong is historically right.
Okkaayyy . . .
