The Ignorance of the Experts
Timothy Birdnow
German scientists have boldly proclaimed this year the lowest point ever for Arctic sea ice extent.
http://www.terradaily.com/reports/Arctic_ice_cover_hits_historic_low_scientists_999.html
Armed with spiffy computer models, Georg Heygster, head of the Physical Analysis of Remote Sensing Images unit at the University of Bremen's Institute of Environmental Physics disagreed with the National Snow and Ice Data Center and others and proudly beamed that global warming has defrosted the freezer-burned region.
"On September 8, the extent of the Arctic sea ice was 4.240 million square kilometres (1.637 million square miles). This is a new historic minimum"
[...]
"The sea ice retreat can no more be explained with the natural variability from one year to the next, caused by weather influence.
Climate models show, rather, that the reduction is related to the man-made global warming which, due to the albedo effect, is particularly pronounced in the Arctic."
End excerpt.
But is this true?
