I found out that I am responsible for the drought.

Note the large amount of September 2007 ice in the Greenland Sea inside the red circle. This ice was being pushed out of the Arctic Basin and would melt in a matter of weeks.

In 2012, there is less ice in the Greenland Sea  and more ice in the Arctic Basin – which is the ice we should “care about.” Just another reason with the “record minimum” is BS.

I’m guessing Mosher made this.

Green shows areas of ice gain since yesterday, red shows areas of ice loss.

Ice extent increased almost one percent since yesterday, indicating that this may be the shortest melt season on record.

There is 12 % more Arctic ice than at the 2007 minimum, and increasing.  This does not include the Greenland Sea, which isn’t on the map and shouldn’t be counted.  Greenland Sea ice is headed to a rapid doom.

Obama’s science advisor John Holdren says that an ice-free Arctic would never refreeze.

I know that is true because down here at the 40th parallel in Colorado, when the lakes thaw out every year, they never freeze up again. Same goes for the Hudson Bay, Kara Sea, etc.

Once water thaws, it can never freeze again. This is based on the same principal as lightning not being able to strike the same place twice.

After 50 years of warming, temperatures turned cold again in the 1970s

1975 – Science News

According to global warming theory, both poles should get warmer and lose ice. Over the last thirty years, one pole has gotten warmer and lost ice. The other pole has gotten colder and gained ice.

These short term trends do not fit global warming theory. Greenland was warmer in 1940 than it is now.

The current Greenland warming, while not yet quite matching the temperatures of 70 years ago …..

“Examination of several proxy records (e.g., sediment cores) of sea ice indicate ice-free or near ice-free summer conditions for at least some time during the period of 15,000 to 5,000 years ago”

Amazing ….

Apparently the Mississippi River must be dried up, but no one noticed.

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.
