The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article today about some recent occurrences involving Arctic<\/a> ice.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

For years, scientists have been warning the Arctic was in a \u201cdeath spiral<\/a>\u201d and could soon be ice-free during the summertime and shrink to unprecedented levels due to man-made global warming. Such ice loss could be \u201cirreversible,\u201d some scientists claimed<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But new research<\/a> from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography<\/a> says that predictions<\/a> of an ice-free Arctic are based on \u201coversimplified<\/a>\u201d theories. Scripps researchers, who were co-funded by the Navy, found that the Arctic sea ice<\/a> may be \u201csubstantially more stable than has been suggested in previous idealized modeling studies.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I should probably point out at this point that I am not in favor of dirty water, dirty air, or any other sort of pollution. I just have serious doubts as to whether the earth is warming or whether man actually has anything to do with any climate change that is occurring.<\/p>\n

There were many predictions saying that Arctic Ice would be gone by 2030–the levels of ice had decreased in 2007, 2008, and 2009, and some scientists were saying that the ice would not come back. However, that is not what has happened.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

NSIDC (National Snow and Ice Data Center<\/a>) and European satellite data show<\/a> that multi-year sea ice<\/a> made a big comeback in 2013 and 2014 \u2014 increasing from 2.25 to 3.17 million square kilometers during that time and making up 43 percent of the north pole<\/a>\u2019s ice pack.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, Arctic sea ice extent as a whole seems to be stabilizing despite this year\u2019s record low maximum in February. NSIDC data shows<\/a>\u00a0Arctic sea ice extent is currently within the normal range based on the 1981 to 2010 average extent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cGlobal sea ice is at a record high, another key indicator that something is working in the opposite direction of what was predicted,\u201d Dr. Benny Peiser, director of the Global Warming Policy Forum, told the U.K. Express<\/a>\u00a0in January.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMost people think the poles are melting\u2026 they\u2019re not,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is a huge inconvenience that reality is now catching up with climate alarmists, who were predicting that the poles would be melting fairly soon.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Global warming is not a proven fact. Until it is, it would be foolish for industrialized nations to cripple their economies to accommodate faulty science. Again, we need to cut down on pollution simply because it is a bad thing, but we do not have to go overboard to create a result that is questionable at best.<\/p>\n
