There has been a 60 per cent increase in the amount of ocean covered
with ice compared to this t ime last year, they equivalent of almost a
million square miles.
In a rebound from 2012's record low an unbroken ice sheet more than
half the size of Europe already stretches from the Canadian islands to
Russia's northern shores, days before the annual re-freeze is even set
to begin.
The Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific has remained
blocked by pack-ice all year, forcing some ships to change their routes.
A leaked report to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) seen by the Mail on Sunday, has led some scientists to claim that
the world is heading for a period of cooling that will not end until the
middle of this century.
If correct, it would contradict computer forecasts of imminent catastrophic
warming. The news comes several years after the BBC predicted that the
arctic would be ice-free by 2013.Related Articles

to combat the effects of climate change.

holding a crisis meeting, and the the IPCC is due to report on the
situation in October. A pre-summit meeting will be held later this month.
But the leaked documents are said to show that the governments who
fund the IPCC are demanding 1,500 changes to the Fifth Assessment
Report - a three-volume study issued every six or seven years – as they
claim its current draft does not properly explain the pause.
The extent to which temperatures will rise with carbon dioxide levels and
how much of the warming over the past 150 years, a total of 0.8C, isdown to human greenhouse gas emissions are key issues in the debate.
The IPCC says it is “95 per cent confident” that global warming has been
caused by humans - up from 90 per cent in 2007 – according to the draft
report.
However, US climate expert Professor Judith Curry has questioned how
this can be true as that rather than increasing in confidence, “uncertainty
is getting bigger” within the academic community.
Long-term cycles in ocean temperature, she said, suggest the world may
be approaching a period similar to that from 1965 to 1975, when there
was a clear cooling trend.
At the time some scientists forecast an imminent ice age.
Professor Anastasios Tsonis, of the University of Wisconsin, said: "We
are already in a cooling trend, which I think will continue for the next 15
years at least. There is no doubt the warming of the 1980s and 1990s
has stopped.”
The IPCC is said to maintain that their climate change models suggest a
pause of 15 years can be expected. Other experts agree that natural
cycles cannot explain all of the recorded warming.

How convenient ! The IPCC has not found that their models predicted a 15 year
pause. Strange, they didn't seem to have done that before it happened. In fact, a
decade ago the models were practically screaming that temperatures were on a
neverending annual increase that could only be stopped by draconion
governmental controls on every form of energy use.

There may be short spell of cooling, but the long-term trend is set fast for warming.I like the NASA site - they have no axe to grind, and i t is a beautifully desi gned
website which always helps .
Here is the update for May-August 2013, not a record year for dwindl ing but the
overall trend continues to be downward, showing a s ustained decline when
averaged out over the decades:
http://www.nasa.gov/content/go...
"The icy cover of the Arctic Ocean was measured at 2.25 million square miles
(5.83 million s quare kilometers) on Aug. 21. For comparison, the sm allest Arctic
sea ice extent on record for this date, recorded in 2012, was 1.67 million s quare
miles (4.34 million s quare kilometers), and the largest recorded for this date wasin 1996, when ice covered 3.16 millions s quare miles (8.2 million square
kilom eters) of the Arctic Ocean."
Here is an item about the rich breeding ground for small fry now occuring
underneath the Arctic Ice due to steady and prolonged warming:

A si lver lining, indeed, like a new tropical rainfores t suddenly appearing on land

This article and the comments only prove ONE thing - Those that have taken sides
in the debate will NOT be swayed one way or the other! Sad really.
Agendas are being pushed involving tons of MONEY on both sides.
Real, honest, scientific, fact-based debate is being muddied with spin, red
herrings, mis-directions, false associations, and blatant lies.
Climate science is far too complex to shrink down into a few hundred words or a
short 3 minute TV piece. Entire BOOKS are written to explain these concepts!These things evolve over DECADES, not hours. Oversimplifying them doesn't do
anyone any good at all.
I personally believe Governments s hould NOT make s uch an aggress ive attempt
to be "proactive" or "preventative" in these things . We need to let them p lay out
and ADAPT as we go. We must be vigilant and willing to adapt QUICKLY. But
attempting to be "proactive" is questionable at best.
We SHOULD educate and encourage - even Incentivize - conservation, but
mandating it and penalizing for it is not the way.
We MUST encourage science to develop more clean tech and ways to isolate and
reduce pollutants.
We Do NOT need carbon taxes and cutting our nose to spite our face.
We also DON'T need to be fighting each other instead of observing what is
happening and ACTING!

As a trained statistician, I can say with confidence (little statis tical punnery), that it's
complex and not reducible to a 400 word article in a general news publication. You
can pick at your favorite political conspiracy theory as much as you like, but I doubt
you're getting anywhere nearer an understanding of the science involved.

Arctic ice data gained through ice cores for the past 450 thousand years have
show large and continual changes in ice coverages. Rapid changes in average
global temperatures and polar ice coverages appear to be nothing new. At its
maxim extent the polar ice cap reached as far south as southern Britain 10,000
year ago before going into rapid retreat at the end of the last ice age. Earth erratic
orbit and shifting axis is know to have caused the frequent ice ages and warm
periods in the past but today it is not even considered a factor. Instead CO2 is
hyped as a supper green house gas even though it is a poor absorber and
reemitter of radiation therefore pretty useless as a green house gas .
Contradictionary data.
In the southern hemisphere the
Antarctica ice sheet is expanding in tandem with lower average temperatures,
Glaciers across the world are growing and not contracting as predicted. The"scientist" behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that
Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 admitted it was included purely to
put political pressure on world l eaders." There has been no notable increase in
average global temperatures for the past 15 years.
How much extra tax is being extracted on the weight of this ps eudos cience? Al
Gore is heavily invested in heavily subs idized environmental tech companies .
How many of our politicians also have vested interest in maintaining the myth.

Sorry? All of those were legitimate, it's just that through sensible
legislation we were able to reverse the trends.
The ozone layer had and still has a large hole in it over Antartica.
This is evidenced by high rates of skin cancer down under due
to the decreased ozone protection. We know that human activity
was respons ible for the hole and we curtailed the use of CFCs,
lo and behold the hole is now closing.
Acid rain happened and stil l happens in som e places . The
effects and reasons behind are well understood. We restricted
the source of the problem and once again we managed to
mitigate the issue (in the west at least).
Then there was nuclear war, obviously any fears of this were
unfounded, the peace and tranquility during the cold war is well
documented......
