No Ice At The North Pole This Summer
Straight from The Independent: “Seasoned polar scientists believe the chances of a totally ice-free North Pole this summer are greater than 50:50 because the normally thick ice formed over many years at the Pole has been blown away and replaced by huge swathes of thinner ice formed over a single year.
This one-year ice is highly vulnerable to melting during the summer months and satellite data coming in over recent weeks shows that the rate of melting is faster than last year, when there was an all-time record loss of summer sea ice at the Arctic.
“The issue is that, for the first time that I am aware of, the North Pole is covered with extensive first-year ice – ice that formed last autumn and winter. I’d say it’s even-odds whether the North Pole melts out,” said Dr Serreze.
Each summer the sea ice melts before reforming again during the long Arctic winter but the loss of sea ice last year was so extensive that much of the Arctic Ocean became open water, with the water-ice boundary coming just 700 miles away from the North Pole.”
Wait, wait wait a minute here.
Wasn’t it in Al “I-Invented-The-Internet” Gore’s movie that they were saying that if the polar ice caps melted, that the world sea levels would rise like 30 to 50 feet? Didn’t the graphs show Florida pretty much totally underwater?
Well, if all the ice from the North Pole has melted, why isn’t Florida underwater? Cause I can tell you, living here in Florida, not more then 5 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, that Florida is still high and dry.
BULLSHITTE!! To quote Penn & Teller. BULLSHITE on the entire Global Warming Hoax.
