There has been no trend in the Arctic sea ice minimum, mean, or maximum extent over the past seventeen years.

Green Colorado

The Platte River Power Authority built giant wind and solar farms in Wyoming and Colorado to power Northern Colorado.  Last night wind and solar produced almost no electricity.  This afternoon we drove past their giant wind farm west of Cheyenne, and the turbines were almost motionless in the calm air.

“Sea ice could be gone by 2012, scientists warn”

In 2007, experts predicted the Arctic would be ice free by 2012. That didn’t happen, so they moved the date out ten years.  Since 2012, Arctic sea ice extent has increased 24%.

6,000 Year Old Tree In The Austrian Alps

“In autumn 2014, large pieces of trees were discovered for the first time from glacial slope sediments in the foreland of the Pasterze glacier. These are far larger than previous finds and are impressive evidence of the former tree population. The tree trunk, several metres long and broken into two pieces, was discovered in September 2014 by two employees of the Grossglockner mountain railway/glacier railway. Initial analyses by Andreas Kellerer-Pirklbauer (University of Graz) and Kurt Nicolussi (University of Innsbruck) show that it is around 6,000 years old.”
