So what happen now.
Cruz is worked over by the tame press or they all take note and start thinking?

ca.news.yahoo.com/researcher-examines-old-logbooks-climate-clues-212233176.htmlCALGARY - A researcher is taking a trip into the past in the hope that centuries of old sailing records will shed light on today's changing climate. The meticulous records kept by old whaling captains and resolute fur traders are a trove of three centuries worth of information on everything from weather and wind to sea ice and animals, said Maribeth Murray.

They will never be accepted. The records were not made by climate 'scientists' and as they are hard copy they cannot be adjusted.

They will be "smoothed". and outliers will be removed from the 200 year old records.

From The Daily Mail Arctic has its warmest year in history as experts say temperatures there are rising TWICE as fast as anywhere else in the world • Air temperature over Arctic land reached 2.3 degrees F above average • Also recorded lowest maximum extent since records began in 1979 The warming Arctic has set another record. The average air temperature over Arctic land reached 2.3 degrees F (1.3 degrees C) above average for the year ending in September. That's the highest sinceMaximum Arctic Ocean sea ice extent, which occurred February 25, 2015, 15 days earlier than average, was the lowest extent recorded since records began in 1979 observations began in 1900. Greenland ice sheet: For the first time since the exceptional melt of 2012, significant melting (more than 50 percent of the area) occurred on the surface of the Greenland ice sheet in 2015. Melt season was 30 to 40 days longer than average in western, northwestern and northeastern Greenland, but was close to or below average elsewhere on the ice sheet. Between the end of the 2014 and 2015 melt seasons, 22 of 45 of the widest and fastest flowing glaciers terminating in the ocean had retreated, but the advance of 9 relatively wide glaciers resulted in a low annual net loss of 6.4 square miles (16.5 square kilometers).

It has been abnormally cold in 2015 – not surprising in view of the cold temperature anomaly in the North Atlantic.

It is not really noticeable on DMI - summer is cooler but the temperatures are variable during the winter but below zero probably due to extreme Rossby waves in the jet streams.

There's currently a WWF campaign on TV in the uk for one using the polar bears as a tear jerker to get monthly donations. Interestingly they also use the plight of penguins whose biggest issue I can tell is distance from nesting site to ocean. ..ie, too big, but that's not how they paint it!!!

Lucky that the WWF hasn't kept track of the polar bear population. They would have to stop running adds. Explain how, in the Penquins case, the "lack" of ice is causing problems? You are correct in the ABUNDANCE of ice is causing problems.

Have a look on you tube under 'adopt a penguin or polar bear for wwf' to view the claptrap (ID do a link but have just moved house and the phone line is not yet installed ) Yes that is my comment, and I did report the video to you tube as containing misleading information....I urge everyone to do the same!!!!

Some quick figuring determines that at that rate it takes 24 years to yield another 6 trillion tons that we found was a very small percentage of Greenland's ice. IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO BUSTER??? I know budgets are tight.
