This wonderful website providing great information regarding the as yet unsettled research around justifying too much global warming policy; though continuing to develop green technology by cleaning our air, water, and generally improving the quality of our lives is always a very good thing.
Ice between Canada and SW Greenland: highest level in 15 years.
16 02 2008
As yet another indicator of the impact January 2008 has had on the Northern Hemisphere, we find this story from Greenland’s Sermitsiaq News:
‘Minus 30 degrees Celsius. That’s how cold it’s been in large parts of western Greenland where the population has been bundling up in hats and scarves. At the same time, Denmark’s Meteorological Institute states that the ice between Canada and southwest Greenland right now has reached its greatest extent in 15 years.
‘Satellite pictures show that the ice expansion has extended farther south this year. In fact, it’s a bit past the Nuuk area. We have to go back 15 years to find ice expansion so far south. On the eastern coast it hasn’t been colder than normal, but there has been a good amount of snow.’
And on the front page, a story about that other “indicator of climate”, the polar bear:
More polar bears seen at Sisimiut.
Apparently, they don’t have the same affinity for them as some others do.
Finally we have this latest Arctic sea ice graph from Cryosphere Today:
