70 Trillion cubic feet of New Arctic Ice

So, What Happened to Global Warming?

An interesting ‘coincidence’ is that the magnetic north pole drift direction is nearly the same as the increase in ice sheet depth.



3-transitional images, Jan-2009, Jan-2010, Jan-2011
Comparing imagery of January arctic sea ice from 2009 to 2011 sourced from the U.S. Navy Polar Ice Prediction System, it appears as though the ice sheet has thickened substantially.
Up to 500,000 square miles of the arctic sea region may have thickened from approximately 5 feet thick during January 2009 to approximately 10 feet thick during January 2011.

The ice thickness scale color, dark blue, corresponds to about 1.5 meters, or about 5 feet.

The color green represents about 3 meters, or about 10 feet.

The estimated area that has changed from dark blue to green measures approximately 500,000 square miles based on approximated Google Earth ruler measurements (1,500 miles length by a bit more than 300 miles width, on average – call it 333).

At an increased thickness of 5 feet, that calculates out to be…
500,000 x (5,280 x 5280) x 5 = 69,626,304,000,000
might as well round it to 70,000,000,000,000 cubic feet

It’s getting colder out there!

…which may bring about an entirely new preparedness category
“mini Ice Age”

(actually, we are well within a ‘La Nina’ cycle – cooling of the tropical Pacific Ocean surface)

An interesting ‘coincidence’ is that the magnetic north pole drift direction is nearly the same as the increase in ice sheet depth.



disclaimer: no attempts were made to calculate the overall sea ice change (globally, or in the entire northern hemisphere) – the map loop shows slight reduction at southwest Greenland (Labrador Sea), some reduction in Hudson Bay, while some increase at northeast Greenland (Greenland Sea) – possibly an overall neutral effect there. The vast majority of apparent change is in the Arctic Ocean.

'Greenpeace - and similarly powerful, unaccountable, virulently anti-capitalist environmental NGOs - represent one of the greatest economic and socio-political menaces in the world today.'
How can we recapture management of our environment from the radical Green-Left?

Share the facts from James Delingpole

'By rights these activists ought to be treated with tremendous suspicion. As we know, for example, from Greenpeace's appalling campaigning track record - such as its mendacious smearing of Shell over Brent Spar, and its dishonest representations about the Greenland ice shelf - these environmental groups comprise hard-left political activists entirely unsuited to dispensing unbiased policy advice. Yet, time and again, these misanthropic, Gaia-worshipping Luddites with their Mickey Mouse degrees in sustainability, whale management and polar bear empathy studies and their half-baked, junk-science-fuelled opinions on how to save the world from capitalism and the non-existent problem of "climate change", are granted seats at the top table in every government environmental decision-making process.
We didn't vote for these soap-dodging, bunny-hugging loons yet, increasingly, they are ruling all our lives. It's time we followed India's example and told them exactly where they can stick their green agenda.'

India's Government is Standing up to the Green Bullies – Why Can't Ours?

Greenpeace has been having a rough time of it, of late. Good. As I argued yesterday, Greenpeace - and similarly powerful, unaccountable, virulently anti-capitalist environmental NGOs - represent one of the greatest economic and socio-political menaces in the world today. If you're still in any doubt of this, you should read Richard North. His latest post contains damning evidence of the degree to which our laws and regulations are now created by green pressure groups and shadowy, green-infiltrated institutions over which we have no democratic control.

These include:

Green 10 ("an informal platform of environmental NGOs" in Europe including Birdlife International, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and the WWF, funded by the EU and by the governments of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom); the OECD's Environmental Policy Committee (EPOC); the European Environment Bureau (EEB); the OECD Environment Directorate (which, with the International Energy Agency (IEA), serves as the Secretariat for the Climate Change Expert Group (CCXG) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and undertakes studies of issues related to the negotiation and implementation of international agreements on climate change); and the Geneva Environmental Network listing 110 green organisations in a subsidised office, supported by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment and led by UNEP.

Do you find this sort of thing as agonisingly tedious as I do? Of course you do. Even just writing that last paragraph, it was all I could do not to stick forks in my eyeballs. I'm surprised you didn't die reading it.
But this, you must understand, is the whole point. As I argued in Watermelons, boredom is the deadly secret weapon of the bien-pensant technocrats of the EU and the UN. "They wear outsiders down with the tedium of their arguments and the smallness of their fine print, so that by the time anyone else notices what they're up to the damage has been done and it's too late to do anything about it."
So let me just explain simply, and without the use of any more distracting initials, what the problem is here. At every level of government across the Western world - from town councils (via Local Agenda 21) to supranational bodies like the United Nations (and its myriad environment programmes) the decision-making process has been hijacked by environmental activist groups like Greenpeace. Like some hideous green ouroborus, they simultaneously feed on and nourish one another. So, for example, various branches of the EU and the UK government give funding to green NGOs which then repay the favour by proselytising on behalf of the EU's and the British government's environmental initiatives and lobbying for more to be introduced.
By rights these activists ought to be treated with tremendous suspicion. As we know, for example, from Greenpeace's appalling campaigning track record - such as its mendacious smearing of Shell over Brent Spar, and its dishonest representations about the Greenland ice shelf - these environmental groups comprise hard-left political activists entirely unsuited to dispensing unbiased policy advice. Yet, time and again, these misanthropic, Gaia-worshipping Luddites with their Mickey Mouse degrees in sustainability, whale management and polar bear empathy studies and their half-baked, junk-science-fuelled opinions on how to save the world from capitalism and the non-existent problem of "climate change", are granted seats at the top table in every government environmental decision-making process.
We didn't vote for these soap-dodging, bunny-hugging loons yet, increasingly, they are ruling all our lives. It's time we followed India's example and told them exactly where they can stick their green agenda.
