Over the last three weeks, Arctic ice area has declined by 662,000 km², which is 60% of normal and the slowest on record.

This has been caused by the coldest Arctic summer on record.

Pine forests depend on fire for their survival.

Most of Colorado’s lodgepole pine forests developed following hot, stand-replacing crown fires (CSFS 2008)1. Lodgepole pine is intolerant to shade and thrives in the aftermath of fire; many lodgepole produce serotinous cones, which open in response to extreme heat and release an abundance of seeds. These long-lived cones may remain viable for decades, waiting for a fire to release their seeds. The prolific regeneration that naturally occurs in the open, sunny areas left in the fire’s wake often results in dense stands of 20,000 or more trees per acre.

Large scale mountain pine beetle outbreaks have occurred often in the past. However, widespread burning in the late 19th century and fire suppression in the 20th century may have created larger stands of similar age, which are now of an age when susceptibility to bark beetle is high

There have been no Atlantic hurricanes so far this year, but by this date in 1886 the US was about to be hit by its fifth hurricane of the year. It was a category four storm with a fifteen foot storm surge which permanently wiped the city of Indianola, Texas off the map.

Obama says that hurricanes are much worse now due to global warming, because he has no idea what he is talking about.

One thing that all scientists who study sea ice agree upon is that under increasing temperatures, the overall long-term declining trend will continue and some summer in the future, we will look down on the North Pole and see a blue Arctic Ocean. It’s not a matter of if, but when.

Arctic sea ice is very close to its minimum for the year. Here is the current view of the blue Arctic Ocean, looking down on the North Pole.

Satellites went up at the end of the ice age scare during one of the coldest years ever, and temperatures were further dragged down by two large volcanic eruptions in the early 1980s and 1990s.

You can’t draw many meaningful conclusions from the satellite record prior to 1996.

One of Arnie’s heroes.

Arnie has recently proposed murdering conservatives using poison gas. Like father, like son.

During his 2003 campaign for California governor, Schwarzenegger — whose father was a member of the Nazi party during World War II — denied speaking out in favor of Hitler, a fellow Austrian. But a book proposal by Butler quoted from a “verbatim transcript.”Butler asked Schwarzenegger who his heroes were, and the bodybuilder replied, “I admired Hitler, for instance, because he came from being a little man with almost no formal education, up to power.”

Look for NASA, NOAA and all the other government agencies which begin with N to continue lying about this.

We should start seeing new ice forming around the North Pole in the next day or two.
