The animation above moves between last year’s NSIDC September ice age map and next week’s Navy ARC map. The NSIDC map (pink, turquoise and green) shows MYI (multi-year ice) as dark green. Most of the yellow and green in the Navy map is MYI.

It appears that there will be a large increase in the amount of MYI relative to last September, as I forecast during the spring.

About 42,000 people have died in drug-related killings in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon went to war on the cartels shortly after taking office at the end of 2006.

The National Hurricane Center is forecasting that a hurricane will hit Florida or Georgia on Friday. This would end 1,078 days without a US hurricane strike – the longest stretch since before the Civil War.

Alarmists will claim that it is proof of global warming. They will say : “We can’t attribute any particular storm to climate change, but this is exactly the sort of weather we expect to happen in a warming world.”

Watching from afar, extraterrestrial beings might view changes in Earth’s atmosphere as symptomatic of a civilisation growing out of control – and take drastic action to keep us from becoming a more serious threat, the researchers explain.

They must have wiped out the dinosaurs for allowing CO2 to be 10X higher than at present. What are these imbeciles smoking at NASA?

What is glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), and why do you correct for it?

since the ocean basins are getting larger due to GIA, this will reduce by a very small amount the relative sea level rise that is seen along the coasts.

the GIA correction has the effect of increasing previous estimates of the global mean sea level rate by 0.3 mm/yr.

Why on Earth would you report a number above the observed sea level? This is beyond asinine. If they keep doing this, their data will eventually show sea level higher than the West Side Highway in New York, while people will still be driving their cars there.

It is the financial equivalent of adding your withholding tax to your net income.
