Arctic warming Effects felt across the globe
Those who keep an eye on Earth’s polar ice caps report that sea ice has melted faster in the Arctic Ocean this summer than at any time since scientists began recording its ebbs and flows. In fact, the Arctic ice cap reached its smallest summer expanse ever, and some scientists say it’s at its lowest reach in nearly 1,500 years.The shrinking ice cap coincides with warming at the poles that has been accelerating twice as fast as in other areas around the globe.
Even climate-change skeptics have to accept the fact that the planet is warming, and it’s happening faster and with greater consequence than during any natural warming cycle in Earth’s history. The massive ice melt is changing weather patterns in North America, and this summer’s record-setting drought throughout the United States is only the first of a pattern of floods, severe storms, drought and wildfires that likely will become the norm.
Pavlov’s morons. Mention ice – drool. Mention drought – drool.
The US just experienced the quietest summer on record for tornadoes, hurricane strikes are at historic long-term lows, the drought is in no way comparable to the Dust Bowl, and the fire season has been about average. These people are complete morons.

A few facts the lazy reporter missed:
Sea ice in Antarctica is increasing.
There’s no proof that Arctic sea ice is at its lowest level in 1,500 years. That’s pure speculation. In fact, news reports from the 1920s indicate that sea ice may have been much lower during that decade.
There was no record-setting drought this summer. The records for drought were set in the 1930s and 1950s.
The planet isn’t warming, according to HadCRUT3 temperature data (unadjusted). In fact, the planet hasn’t warmed in more than 15 years. Even Dr. Phil Jones of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia admitted as much. (The non-warming is the reason the alarmists were forced to shift their scare from “global warming” to “climate change.”)
There’s no hard evidence that man-made CO2, which accounts for 0.117 percent of the so-called greenhouse effect, is warming the planet.
From the Geocraft site:
“. . .by calculating the product of the adjusted CO2 contribution to greenhouse gases (3.618%) and % of CO2 concentration from anthropogenic (man-made) sources (3.225%), we see that only (0.03618 X 0.03225) or 0.117% of the greenhouse effect is due to atmospheric CO2 from human activity.”

The hypocricy of alarmists knows no bounds.
Green panic is becoming rather similar to drug withdrawal.
No matter how many lies the warmists tell about the arctic ice , they just can’t make the history of the vikings go away . The bones and old home sites and the other residue of their existance in Greenland is hard evidence that cannot be adjusted away. Hahahahahahaha , but I’m sure they will try . Anyone who would believe a warmist about anything is more of a moron than the warmist .
“Those who keep an eye on Earth’s polar ice caps report that sea ice has melted faster in the Arctic Ocean this summer than at any time since scientists began recording its ebbs and flows.”
A provably false statement, as Goddard’s archives can easily show. They conflate satellite observations with all observations, incredibly stupid and/or dishonest.
Oh for fuck’s sake. The planet isn’t warming. Sweden and parts of Scandinavia didn’t even get summer. Apparently that’s Global Warming. Britain had a “summer” of rain that ruined their crops. Global Warming? Yeah, that’s what “experts” say. It’s not “Global” Warming if the warming is only in the U.S. Are these reporters the type of people that only believe America is the only country in the world?
The Arctic was nearly ice free in 1959. When will these reporters ever shut up? Every single news story that has come out of the Warmists’ asshole has been the same.
There’s no evidence whatsoever that an ice-free Arctic was the result of man. There was a rare Arctic storm that broke up the ice. If that hadn’t happened, there wouldn’t be such a “record”. Oh, but the warmists blame that storm on man, too. There’s no evidence that our climate is spinning out of control. Jesus, these guys make me want to have them court marshalled and executed.
