The Northern Sea Route passes from the North Sea to the Pacific Ocean along the coast of Russia.

It is now blocked with 3+ meter (10 feet) thick sea ice, shown as yellow and red in the map below from the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI.)

DMI has records for 15 years, going back to 2004. The only other year out of the last fifteen which had ice this thick blocking the Northern Passage was 2010.  But 2010 was less problematic because the thick ice was at lower latitude where the ice normally melts during the summer. The animation below shows all 15 years.

Russia is building three nuclear ice breakers to allow commerce through this ten foot thick ice. Good luck with that!

Meanwhile, US scientists who are desperate for global warming funding, simply pretend the ice isn’t there. Al Gore won the Nobel Prize for lying about the Arctic.

I got rid of my television 22 years ago, but next Monday will finally have a show worth watching!

I didn’t see any Kestrels this morning, but the big birds were out.

Nothing says “overheated atmosphere” quite like a winter storm warning in Florida.

I had trouble finding my pet Kestrel today, but finally located her at the top of a very tall tree – just as the sun was setting

Climate experts have released imagery showing what earth was like below 350 PPM CO2.

The Anasazi had a very low carbon footprint and relied 100% on renewable energy like solar heating. Yet they were driven out by a 75 year long drought – with CO2 at pre-industrial levels.  Democrats hope we can achieve their level of renewable energy success.
