Sea levels set to rise as Arctic warming replaces millennia long natural cooling cycle
(09/03/2009) According to a new study published in Science the Arctic should be cooling, and in fact has been cooling for millennia. But beginning in 1900 Arctic summer temperatures began rising until the mid-1990s when the cooling trend was completely overcome. Researchers fear that this sudden up-tick in temperatures could lead to rising sea levels threatening coastal cities and islands. "Scientists have known for a while that the current period of warming was preceded by a long-term cooling trend," said lead author Darrell Kaufman of Northern Arizona University. "But our reconstruction quantifies the cooling with greater certainty than ever before."

From his post we see that warming of the poles began as early as 1900 and has continued since. Yet man made global warming is claimed to have only started recently. Seeing as there was no general warming trend till the 80's for the last century.
So much for the claim that all the CO2 is doing it.
Atmospheric circulation patterns in August helped spread out sea ice, slowing ice loss in most regions of the Arctic. NSIDC scientists expect to see the minimum ice extent for the year in the next few weeks. While this year's minimum ice extent will probably not reach the record low of 2007, it remains well below normal: average ice extent for August 2009 was the third-lowest in the satellite record. Ice extent has now fallen below the 2005 minimum, previously the third-lowest extent in the satellite record.

Summer sea ice likely to disappear in the Arctic by 2015
(08/31/2009) If current melting trends continue, the Arctic Ocean is likely to be free of summer sea ice by 2015, according to research presented at a conference organized by the National Space Institute at Technical University of Denmark, the Danish Meteorological Institute and the Greenland Climate Center.

Interesting bit of stupidity. The volume of ice continues to decline.

And the sun is at its lowest level of activity in 80 years.

Yes, those dullards at the NSIDC just can't seem to keep up with your brilliance on this topic. You need to write them a letter and get them straightened out.

Maybe that explains why we are in the third consecutive year of Arctic Sea Ice Extent increase.

Cannot you differeniate volume from coverage? The volume of ice in 2008 was less than that in 2007. When they calculate the ice volume for 2009, I am sure that it will be less than that of 2008, even though it was spread out more.
And, for the first time, large freighters made the North East Passage. And don't give me that Amundsen story again. There is a bit of a differance in a freighter carrying 1300 tons of construction equiptment making the passage in weeks, and a 87 ton herring boat making it in three years.
Third lowest in 30 years, so what? .
The Fucking Arrogance of the Earth Hating, Human Hating Right...

This year was still more than two deveition points below the twenty year average. And, while the coverage was greater than in 2008 and 2007, it was thinner, and the overall volume is less.
