Seventy years ago when I was in Sunday school, if we did something good we got a Gold Star. NSIDC’s Walt Meier should get a Gold Star for this article.

Dies hat nichts mit der “Erderwärmung” zu tun, die schon seit 14 Jahren nicht mehr stattfindet. Auch in der
Arktis sind die Temperaturen zurückgegangen. Der Eisschwund wurde durch warme Wind- und Meeresströmungen hervorgerufen und das ist in der Vergangenheit schon öfter passiert. Eine normale,
natürliche Erscheinung.

When you use SI units, such quantities become easy to handle:

6.7 Mm2 – average
4.2 Mm2 – previous record
3.4 Mm2 – new record

SI units do away with the practice of saying “thousands of”, that makes quantities seem too big to handle.

Why wasn’t the reason for the record low Arctic sea ice over the period from 1979 to 2012 given? There was an Arctic cyclone for 5 days over the North Pole in mid-August that broke up the ice and sent it down to warmer waters where it melted. This had nothing to do with so-called global warming which has been at a stand-still since 1998.

We only had daily sea measurement via satellite since 1979. There most likely was smaller Arctic sea ice during earlier periods; but there was no easy way to make measurements. The U. S. Weather Bureau reported in 1922 open water above Norway to withing 580 miles of the North Pole. Sea water was 60 degrees at Spitzbergen. A circle with an area of 1.32 million square miles would have a radius of 650 miles.

So the low Arctic sea ice this year has happened before and no big deal. NASA failed to report this September the Antarctic had a record high for sea ice. None of these events can be tied to carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels. NASA is doing its usual ploy of trying to promote burning fossil fuels is a danger. The danger is not using fossil fuels and plunging the world’s economy into a depression.

Eigentlich gibt es nur die Erklärung Erderwärmung. Es gibt auch eine andere, die überliefert wurde. raubau mit der Natur wehrt sie sich. heißt heute. bei Erdölbohrungen entstehen Hohlräume, die werden irgendwie gefüllt. Aber wie? Die natur kommt aus dem Gleichgewicht. Der Mars erinnert mich an die Serengeti,Afrika. der Regen bleibt aus der Wind treibt den Sand weiter. Das Grundwasser geht zurück. Was ist da passiert?
