Roanoke Times, 12-2-11, Pg 3: Federal report: Arctic melt-off has sped up.
“The dramatic changes are from both man-made global warming and recent localized weather shifts, which were on top of the longer term warming trend, scientists said.

Well, if scientists said so, then it must be so, especially if they work for the government.
The less than one degree rise in the past 130 years (NASA data) have finally melted the ice:

Hopefully it will refreeze again this winter like it usually does. If not the Russians will be moving their oil rigs in and taking over the entire Northwest Passage; and when last we checked, they’re not big on cleaning up spills.

Not mentioned anywhere are the fumaroles and volcanoes which have been very active the past several years in the Arctic Region. Reykjavik, Iceland had major eruptions in May 2011 which again was similar to last year’s 2010 eruptions that was so dramatic it affected air traffic all the way to, through and over Europe.

Click on the video and look at the volcanic ash bellowing into the atmosphere and the magma flowing out of that melting glacier into the ocean in April 2010 ! Talk about warming up the ocean and covering millions of acres of ice with sun-absorbing fallout! And what about all that global-warming volcanic-gas that accounts for many years of man-made CO2 ! Didn’t see any of this major relevant information in this article.

The following blog items and references would be good background reading for the authors of this article who perhaps need to spend some time reflecting on the Medieval Warm Period followed by the Little Ice Age and now the post Little Ice Age Warming.
The climate is changing! The climate has always been changing! However we now have people, technology and round the clock media devoted to alarm us about every event. Image if all this existed for the past 3000 years; what’s happening now would surely seem mild. Just reflect on the hysteria caused by the slight cooling from 1940 to 1975 and the "consensus" that another ice age was upon us and we were going to starve and freeze.
