"This year's results suggest the latter because the ice had recovered a bit more than usual thanks to a somewhat cooler winter"
Yup, ONE LITTLE KERNEL of CORN TRUTH in that BIG, SOFT-SERVE SWIRLEY of MSM BULLSHIT!!!
"Arctic sea ice at 2d lowest level on record; Scientists fear 'tipping point'" by Seth Borenstein and Dan Joling, Associated Press | August 28, 2008
WASHINGTON - More ominous signs yesterday have scientists saying that a global warming "tipping point" in the Arctic seems to be happening before their eyes: Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is at its second lowest level in about 30 years.
Do I really have to? Yup: Arctic Ice Expanded 30% This Year
Arctic ice always melts in summer and refreezes in winter. But over the years, more of the ice is lost to the sea with less of it recovered in winter. While ice reflects the sun's heat, the open ocean absorbs more heat and the melting accelerates warming in other parts of the world.
Sea ice also serves as primary habitat for threatened polar bears.
There they go again with the polar bears!
"Disappearing summer sea ice is causing a decline in numbers in some areas but other regions are stable and in some the population is rising."
Yeah, I am tired of the MANIPULATIVE LYING by the AmeriKan MSM!!!
"We could very well be in that quick slide downward in terms of passing a tipping point," said senior scientist Mark Serreze at the data center in Boulder, Colo. "We're seeing it happen now."
Within "five to less than 10 years," the Arctic could be free of sea ice in the summer, said NASA ice scientist Jay Zwally.
They said that was going to happen THIS YEAR and it DID NOT, so PFFFFFFFTTTT!
"It also means that climate warming is also coming larger and faster than the models are predicting," he said.
I am REALLY SICK of the SHIT SHOVEL, fucker!!!!!!!!!!!!
Five climate scientists, four of them specialists on the Arctic, told the Associated Press that it is fair to call what is happening in the Arctic a "tipping point." NASA scientist James Hansen, who sounded the alarm about global warming 20 years ago before Congress, said the sea ice melt "is the best current example" of that.
Last year was an unusual year when wind currents and other weather conditions coincided with global warming to worsen sea ice melt, Serreze said. Scientists wondered whether last year was an unusual event or the start of a new and disturbing trend.
This year's results suggest the latter because the ice had recovered a bit more than usual thanks to a somewhat cooler winter, Serreze said. Then this month, when the melting rate usually slows, it sped up instead, he said.
Yeah, NEVER MIND the EVIDENCE in front of you, come up with some other horse shit excuse for pushing this globalist pack of lies!!
How do you scientists sleep at night, that's what I wonder!
