Three Decades Of Global Cooling

Climate Change: As a Colorado Rockies playoff game is snowed out, scientists report that Arctic sea ice is thickening and Antarctic snow melt is the lowest in three decades. Whatever happened to global warming?

Al Gore wasn't there to throw out the first snowball, er, baseball, so he might not have noticed that Saturday's playoff game between the Colorado Rockies and the Philadelphia Phillies was snowed out — in early October. The field should have been snow-free just as the North Pole was to be ice-free this year.

It seems that ice at both poles hasn't been paying attention to the computer models. The National Snow and Ice Data Center released its summary of summer sea-ice conditions in the Arctic last week and reported a substantial expansion of "second-year ice" — ice thick enough to have persisted through two summers of seasonal melting.

According to the NSIDC, second-year ice this summer made up 32% of the total ice cover on the Arctic Ocean, compared with 21% in 2007 and 9% in 2008. Clearly, Arctic sea ice is not following the consensus touted by Gore and the warm-mongers.

This news coincides with a finding published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters last month by Marco Tedesco, a research scientist at the Joint Center for Earth Systems Technology. He reported that ice melt on Antarctica was the lowest in three decades during the ice-melt season.

Whatever happened to those Halloween nights I remember going around without a jacket in the late 60's early 70's?

I know Texas was cooler in the 1970s, especially from 1973 to 1979. It was also wetter. Cooler years in Texas are wetter from what I read. 1976 was the year Texas had no summer. Ask any Texan who lived that time.

Global cooling is a direct result of global warming.

We just had one of the coldest summers in Cincinnati history.  None of that good ol' 95 degrees with 95% humidity.  And it's only 40 degrees today.
