Just out – the POLAR ICE CAPS are at an all time high, the POLAR BEAR population has never been stronger. Where the h is global warming?

The world’s sea ice hits a record low for January as the annual melting period expanded according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The 5.04 million square miles of sea ice in the Arctic was 524,000 sq miles less than the average 1981-2010 cover. It is the lowest recorded since satellite records began.
Holthause notes that the loss of sea ice is bad news for the biosphere. But the rate of change is even more worrying. He writes; “Global temperatures are rising at a rate far in excess of anything seen in recent Earth history. That means, in all likelihood, these latest records were made to be broken”.
The loss of Earth’s polar sea ice has long been considered one of the most important tipping points as the planet warms. That’s because as the bright white ice melts, it exposes less-reflective ocean water, which more easily absorbs heat. And that, sorry to say, kicks off a new cycle of further warming.
According to research published last fall, that cycle appears to be the primary driver of ice melt in the Arctic, effectively marking the beginning of the end of permanent ice cover there. The wide-ranging consequences of this transition, such as more extreme weather and ecosystem shifts, are already being felt far beyond the Arctic.
Is that another boatload of refugees? And will Trump, like the “skipper” of many a Mediterranean refugee boat, sink the boat after arranging his own departure?

Throw him overboard, and whack him with an oar if he tries to climb back into the boat!
