Is an ice-free North Pole unusual?
You've seen the recent headlines full of alarm, North Pole could be ice-free this summer, scientists say (CNN) and Exclusive: No ice at the North Pole, Polar scientists reveal dramatic new evidence of climate change (the Independant).
The ice retreated to a record level in September when the Northwest Passage -- the sea route through the Arctic Ocean -- opened up briefly for the first time in recorded history.Tom Nelson adds a little perspective:
Except that the Northwest Passage was successfully navigated in years like 1906, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1944, 1957, 1969, 1977, 1984, 1988, and 2000.I guess when you are the main stream media, you don't want a little thing like facts to interfere with your alarmist story.
