This past winter was one of the coldest on record in Russia, Asia, Alaska and eastern Europe. It was the fourth snowiest on record in Eurasia

1. Satellites went up during an unusually cold period at the end of the ice age scare.
2. This was followed shortly thereafter by two large volcanic eruptions which dragged temperatures down.
3. Two large El Ninos later pushed the right side up.
4. There has been no warming for 15 years.
5. According to Hansen, we should be well above 1C now.

In other words, nothing is happening to the global temperature and Hansen is incompetent.

Every year someone shows up here and starts claiming that sea ice is made of salt water and will melt until the temperature drops below -2C.

Can you drink melted sea ice?

New ice is usually very salty because it contains concentrated droplets called brine that are trapped in pockets between the ice crystals, and so it would not make good drinking water. As ice ages, the brine eventually drains through the ice, and by the time it becomes multiyear ice, nearly all of the brine is gone. Most multiyear ice is fresh enough that someone could drink its melted water. In fact, multiyear ice often supplies the fresh water needed for polar expeditions.

This time of year, almost all of the Arctic ice is fresh water ice.

Paul Ehrlich said that we all died a horrible death during the 1980s, and that we are going to suffer the same fate again.

Ehrlich has been a broken record for at least 45 years.

Joe Romm hates Paul Ryan, which means that Ryan must be a person of exceptionally high character.

Romm says Wisconsin is being devastated by drought, which can mean only one thing – lots of unseasonably cool weather and rain headed to Wisconsin.
