Arctic sea ice 6th lowest, but rebounds from 2012

The ice cap at the North Pole melts in the summer and grows in winter; its general shrinking trend is a sign of global warming. The National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo., said Friday that Arctic ice was at 1.97 million square miles when it stopped melting late last week.

It takes scientists several days to confirm sea ice hit reached its lowest level and is growing again.

The minimum level reached this summer is about 24 percent below the 20th Century average, but 50 percent above last year when a dramatic melt shattered records that go back to 1979.

Center director Mark Serreze says cooler air triggered a "considerable recovery," from last year, while the ocean temperatures were still warmer than normal. But he adds climate change deniers who point to the bounce back from last year — which skewed the trend — would be wrong.

What happened to the big hurricane season predicted. I love they way they get to revise it 3/4 a way thru the season

Kind of like changing your bet in the 3rd quarter

I'll tell you when I knew this Global warming was all about getting research grants by hyping up a theory, based on a trend.

When they had the Global warming conference in Sweden or there abouts, and nearly everyone of those experts had limos waiting to deliver them to the conference area .... though a shuttle bus was set up just for them.

Don't tell me these people really think the world is in danger, when they themselves live in huge homes and change almost nothing in their life.

We covered that story quite well here at VJ and I am sure a few peeps remember.

It's because of the tax increases. Tax rates control the weather. Ask any liberal. The planet almost slid off the cliff. Obama's taxes saved us all.

Thanks Obama!

Well I did notice the Artic ice regrew since Obama's election, it's nice to know he kept at least one campaign promise.
