Remember when 97% of Greenland melted last summer?
Temperatures in the interior of the ice sheet have averaged -29C over the past year, and there have been zero days with a mean temperature above freezing
In 1999, he showed that most of the US cooled from 1950-1998
But that simply wasn’t going to scare anyone, so he got rid of all US cooling in his recent maps. Note too that he eliminated all cooling in South America and Africa, and turned them into warming.

This is what Obama calls “overwhelming science.” Mosher also says that this is all good.
Only 20 feet of snow so far this winter.
The Navy is forecasting a lot of ice growth in the Barents Sea this week, which will bring it very close to the NSIDC median line. The map below overlays the NSIDC map (white with green/blue median line) on the Navy map (purple ice.)

The Arctic has locked into a persistent cold pattern, unlike anything I have seen for years.
Andrew Morrill, the president of the Arizona Education Association, told the Star that there was no need for the legislation. “The curriculum for teaching science is already balanced,” he said. “If there’s overwhelming evidence on one side, then within the science curriculum there’s going to be a look at that evidence.” He added, “The controversy is at the political level, not the scientific one.”
Everyone in Arizona knows the overwhelming evidence that snow is a thing of the past.

There was a hurricane and drought last year. Those things never happened before, so we need to declare martial law.
Just a couple of weeks ago, President Obama bragged that his was the most transparent administration in history, an oft-cited point.
Just a couple of moments ago, President Obama finished an address to members of the the National Governors Association at the White House by saying, “What I want to do is clear out the press so we can take some questions.”
Seems there’s a contest of sorts going on within the White House: Who can fashion the most Orwellian quote regarding open government? Here’s the quote that Obama had to beat, from White House counterterrorism chief John O. Brennan at his confirmation hearing to be the director of the Central Intelligence Agency: “What we need to do is optimize transparency on these issues, but at the same time, optimize secrecy and the protection of our national security.”
Thu Oct 29, 2009 12:01pm EDT (Reuters) – The multiyear ice covering the Arctic Ocean has effectively vanished, a startling development that will make it easier to open up polar shipping routes, an Arctic expert said on Thursday. Vast sheets of impenetrable multiyear ice, which can reach up to 80 meters (260 feet) thick, have for centuries blocked the path of ships seeking a quick short cut through the fabled Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They also ruled out the idea of sailing across the top of the world. But David Barber, Canada’s Research Chair in Arctic System Science at the University of Manitoba, said the ice was melting at an extraordinarily fast rate.
It is all rotten ice, and the polar bears fell through and drowned. Sea level rose 250 feet, and the world broiled. We all died in a cloud of blue steam twenty years ago. And if we don’t destroy the Bill of Rights, things will get even worse.
