Arctic Sea Ice Returns to Normal Levels

Despite all of the SUVs and abuse of the environment by Al Gore's standards, the earth continues to change climate - it colder. A historical winter and yielded so other news of relief, the Arctic Ice levels with return to normal.

From the NSIDC:

Barring an about face by nature or adjustments, it appears that for the
first time since 2001, Arctic Sea ice will hit the “normal” line as
defined by the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) for this time
of year.

Some of the statements released:

• The Danish Meteorological Institute shows Arctic ice extent at the highest level in their six year record.


• The Norwegians (NORSEX) show Arctic ice area above the 30 year mean.

Dr. Walt Meir on the cause:

Basically, it is due primarily to a lot more ice in the Bering Sea,
as is evident in the images. The Bering ice is controlled largely by
local winds, temperatures are not as important (though of course it
still need to be at or at least near freezing to have ice an area for
any length of time). We’ve seen a lot of northerly winds this winter in
the Bering, particularly the last couple of weeks.

Yes, they make my head hurt too - temperature are not as important...sigh. That's his quote, the article had the statement in parenthesis so I'll assume they added it.

From Dr. Mark Serreze of NSIDC:

“It’s nice to see a little recovery over the past couple of years,
but there’s no reason to think that we’re headed back to conditions
seen in the 1970s,” said NSIDC Director Mark Serreze, also a professor
in CU-Boulder’s geography department. “We still expect to see ice-free
summers sometime in the next few decades.”

Referring to the "Death Spiral Theory" that the Ice will just suddenly melt away by 2013. Read it here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7139797.stm

Some expects and blogs published how there is some recovery.

"...sea ice appears to have turned the corner as of Sept 13th data. While
that is just one data point, it turned the corner about this time last
year, and the year before."

One Global Warming blog:

So now that Arctic ice has returned to normal extent and area, we
eagerly await the explanation from the experts about how that fits into
the “death spiral” theory. Richard Feynman famously said “Science
is the belief in the ignorance of the experts.”

and

Time will tell. 2010 is looking promising for sea ice
recovery again. After all, who wouldn’t want the Arctic Sea ice
to recover? WUWT is predicting a recovery again this year, which we
started mentioning as a prediction last fall.

So given what we know today, what will NSIDC highlight
in their April Sea Ice News?

Science does NOT matter to this administration

This global warming cult predates Obama administration but it's only fair to analyze the comments and status today.

"That is why today, I am also signing a Presidential Memorandum directing the head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to develop a strategy for restoring scientific integrity to government decision making. To ensure that in this new Administration, we base our public policies on the soundest science; that we appoint scientific advisors based on their credentials and experience, not their politics or ideology; and that we are open and honest with the American people about the science behind our decisions. That is how we will harness the power of science to achieve our goals – to preserve our environment and protect our national security; to create the jobs of the future, and live longer, healthier lives."¹


No they won't.

We are in the middle of the unraveling the greatest scam in the history of science and the Obama administration went to "Plan B" - have the EPA intercede and regulate CO2 as a pollutant (only months after a White House memo stated otherwise)

This science has been led by the UN with the IPCC and has been outed as a fraud and void of honest peer review and viable data.

In May, Lisa Jackson, EPA, said in a memo²

"Science must be the compass guiding our environmental protection decisions. We cannot make the best decisions unless we have confidence in the integrity of the science on which we rely. Therefore, it is my promise that scientific integrity will be the backbone of my leadership of the Agency."

Ms. Jackson, the leading scientists are pending investigation and review of their research and yet the EPA announces regulation of CO2.

People DO NOT have confidence in the science and are questioning the integrity -- unfortunately the Obama administration, the EPA and others don't see that.

Global Warming Fraud finally revealed

There must have been cheers around on the Duke University campus as their solar activity studies (which correlated temperature fluctuations with the sun's activity) officially gained credibility. Emails leaked from a hacker revealed what many of us have been shouting: global warming is a sham.

The hysteria surrounding CO2 levels and man-made contributions have been overly hyped to achieve political and financial means. The world's leading scientist reveal the details of collusion, corruption and scientific fraud.

From the e-mails:

UK Climatologist Phil Jones instructs fellow scientists to "hide the decline" in recent global temperatures. Some evidence appears to show a halt in a rise of global temperatures from about 1960, contradicting the current global warming theme.

Jones stated in one email: ..."just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e., from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline" - this is Michael Mann, a professor of meteorology at Pennsylvania State University.

Michael Mann (i.e. Mike) is famous for the "hockey stick" graph, but the "trick" is really a "short cut" according to Mann and Jones.

Mann's official statement: "I'm not going to comment on the content of illegally obtained emails. However, I will say this: both their theft and, I believe, any reproduction of the emails that were obtained on public websites, etc, constitutes serious criminal activity. I'm hoping the perpetrators and their facilitators will be tracked down and prosecuted to the fullest extent the law allows."

Of course he won't comment on content, only cry foul that they have been released and discredit them as "illegal" - was that the response when the Watergate tapes made headlines?


Here's another gem:

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,

Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow. I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.

Thanks for the comments, Ray.
Cheers, Phil



So basically thermometers stopped being beneficial to the study they were said to have "lost sensitivity" -- they eliminated BAD data!!!

This is the IPCC, a huge scientific leader in the global warming movement, being outed to have FIXED data.

Two other American scientists named in leaked e-mails are Gavin Schmidt of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, and Kevin Trenberth, of the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research, in Colorado --- no word from them.




First in 2007, when Dr James Hansen's data was revealed to have been systematically "adjusted" to show recent temperatures as higher than those reported by the other three official sources.

The result was the in GISS revising its figures.(exposed by two science blogs, Watts Up With That, run by Anthony Watts, and Steve McIntyre's Climate Audit)


Gavin Schmidt has been distancing himself from the GISS having played the fall guy for a false report of "Hottest October on Record" when the data was falsified from the previous month's data. (outed by the aforementioned blogs)


George Monbiot, a leading environmentalist, said Phil Jones should resign from the Climatic Research Unit. Jones and other researchers suppressed scientific data and climatologist admitted it was a travesty that scientists could not explain a lack of global warming in recent years.


This onion has no end because the layers of lies runs to the core. Working in research and the medical field, I can tell you that biggest crime is sacrificing the integrity of the science.

Global warming is a hoax and has distracted us from being good stewards of the planet. Billions and billions has been wasted on bogus research and climate control measures which could have better served on conservation.
