In the animation below, I masked out all Arctic sea ice which is less than five feet thick. Over the past ten years, thick ice has expanded 1,000 miles into the East Siberian Sea.
Winds are compressing the ice towards the center of the Arctic, making it thicker and harder to melt in summer. Which of course leads to this sort of brainless propaganda from Joe Romm.
According to the EPA, CO2 is a dangerous gas which causes droughts, heatwaves, sea level rise, floods, turtle gender confusion, and hurricanes.
If the EPA CO2 endangerment finding is correct, then New York City is the largest climate criminal in the western world and would make them subject to mass class action litigation. Texas should sue New York for damages from Hurricane Harvey.

Over the past 100 years, January maximum temperatures have been declining in the US, and the frequency of nights below 20F has increased. There has been a very sharp increase in the number of cold nights since 2006.
Besides having some of the most stunning scenery on Earth, Northern New Mexico has some of the most interesting geology. A million years ago, the Jemez Caldera super-volcano eruption deposited thousands of feet of ash where Los Alamos, New Mexico is now located.
The photograph below shows three very distinct geologic formations – dominated by igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks from front to back. The pink Miocene lake beds at center contain some nice camel fossils, and are one of my favorite places to go hiking.
