Arctic Ice Melt Has Reversed

One of the most dramatic results of the record cold over much of the 
planet is the reversal of the much-re****ted melt of the icebergs in the 
Arctic Ocean. Last autumn the world was alarmed to hear from certain 
climatologists that the ice in the Arctic had melted to its "lowest 
levels on record." What was carefully omitted from those scare stories 
was the fact that those records only date back as far as 1972, and that 
there is anthropological and geological evidence of much greater melts 
in the past.



Now, as a result of the recent record cold weather, the ice is back. 
According to Gilles Langis, a senior forecaster with the Canadian Ice 
Service in Ottawa, the Arctic winter has been so severe the ice has not 
only recovered, it is actually 10 to 20 cm thicker in many places than 
at this time last year.



What few people know and what the Global Warming lobby seems at pains to 
keep known is the fact that there is considerable seasonal variation in 
how much pack ice of the Arctic ice pack covers the Arctic Ocean. Much 
of the ocean is also covered in snow for about 10 months of the year. 
The maximum snow cover is in March or April - about 20 to 50 centimeters 
over the frozen ocean. The thickness is not one of the universal 
constants, never was.

"What most commentators-and many scientists-seem to miss is that the 
only thing we can say with certainly about climate is that it changes" 
Dr. Richard Lindzen


[most of the current alarm over climate change is based on] "inherently 
untrustworthy climate models, similar to those that cannot accurately 
forecast the weather a week from now." Dr. Richard Lindzen
