Arctic sea ice back to normal


'............According to thermometer and satellite data global surface temperatures are not increasing, the oceans aren't warming, and now it seems not even the Arctic is melting........'

NOTHING seems to be going to plan for those who believe in anthropogenic
global warming and an imminent climate crisis. According to thermometer
and satellite data global surface temperatures are not increasing, the
oceans aren't warming, and now it seems not even the Arctic is melting.

The latest satellite data on Arctic sea ice extent suggests that there
is now a normal amount of sea ice in the Arctic - normal is defined as
about average for the period 1979 - 2007.

And when all is said and done, if the climate system is not accumulating
heat, the AGW hypothesis is invalid.
