I have been watching this story for awhile now and have personally gotten dr. James Hansen to dismiss the role of the sun

in planetary warming. I asked him(07) why there was evidence of warming on Mars and other planets moons, and that

seemed like we had a warming Solar system which has now gone the other way as the sun's output has decreased,

Global Warming? Sea Ice Ends Year at Same Level as 1979

Thanks to a rapid rebound in recent months, global sea ice levels now equal those seen 29 years ago, when the year 1979 also drew to a close.

Ice levels had been tracking lower throughout much of 2008, but rapidly recovered in the last quarter. In fact, the rate of increase from September onward is the fastest rate of change on record, either upwards or downwards.

The data is being reported by the University of Illinois’s Arctic Climate Research Center, and is derived from satellite observations of the Northern and Southern hemisphere polar regions.

Each year, millions of square kilometers of sea ice melt and refreeze. However, the mean ice anomaly — defined as the seasonally-adjusted difference between the current value and the average from 1979-2000, varies much more slowly. That anomaly now stands at just under zero, a value identical to one recorded at the end of 1979, the year satellite record-keeping began.

Now lets dissect a current AP article spun to promote the globalist agenda of fear mongering about Global warming.

While the issue has many facets the manipulation of the truth is not true science but this is an example of what we

were warned of openly almost 50 years ago. Here is a paragraph from the Public Papers of the Presidents,

Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1960, p. 1035- 1040. This is a section from the last speech, also known as the military

industrial complex speech, Eisenhower gave just before leaving the White House. Full Text

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project

allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in

holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert

WASHINGTON – The summer melt of Arctic sea ice wasn't quite as bad this year as the last two years. But it still ranked as the third biggest melt on record.

<<<<< 2 years ago there was open water in parts of the Artic which should have reopened and grown because new ice melts must faster

than old more dense ice. >>>>

The National Snow and Ice Data Center announced Thursday that the Arctic sea ice reached its annual low last week. Ice extended just shy of 2 million square miles. That's 620,000 square miles less than the 30-year average.

But there was more ice this September than the record low set in 2007 — about one-third of a million square miles more. Last year ranked No. 2.

<<<<< By these numbers there was about 1.67 mil. sq. miles back in 07, so we have a 20% increase in artic sea ice in just 2 years, global warming? >>>>>

Arctic sea ice is important because it helps moderate warmer temperatures elsewhere. Experts blame global warming for the increased melting of sea ice and fear that eventually no sea ice will survive the summer.

<<<<< If this trend continues in just a few years we will have the largest recorded Artic Ice pack. Also 30 years is hardly a longtime we need to look

at the last several thousand years at least. There have been great changes before and remember last winter and the record increase

recorded, from the first article, above.

I believe as many others do that the Sun is the driving force warming or cooling off the Earth. So who benefits from Cap and Trade anyway?
