Where HASN'T All the Ice Gone?
John Lees
Back in December of 1983, Arctic sea ice extent was recorded as 13 million square kilometres.
This last December, so 40 years later, it was recorded to be 12 million square kilometres.
So firstly, we already know that the North Atlantic is subject to quasi-70 year cycles of warming and cooling known as the AMO.
And we also know that we have just been through the warming phase of such a cycle for most of that period since 1983.
We have no comparison period. So it could well be that the AMO is the primary driver of the changes we have witnessed.
But secondly;
Seriously, it's only a marginal reduction in the scale of the vast desert of deadly floating ice.
Honestly, who cares?!!!
