Arctic ice cap grows 60% - Al Gore hardest hit

#6  The Northwest Passage is fickle. Some years you can negotiate through it. Some years you are stuck. I flew my plane in early July 1990 to Resolute. There was a lot of ice then, and all except icebreakers could not get through.

At the time of Eric the Red, c985 AD, southern Greenland had a favorable climate to farming. The polar ice cap must have shrunk due to the unusual warming climate. Then the Little Ice Age hit, the farms failed, and things went back to normal.

People confuse climate with weather. Politicians see it as an opportunity to tax more, thus spend more. Trashing the economy on the installment plan.

#2  Wow this means we can rollback all those carbon taxes. This is huge news. I'm sure the MSM will be right on it straight away. Front page news plus Environment section binned. Will see it under the headline "Beezlebub organises snowball fight".
