Gore’s Pronouncements Get Icy Reception From, Well … Facts
IBD has this worthy note:
According to DailyTech blogger Michael Asher, “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.” This isn’t Asher’s opinion, but fact based on data from the University of Illinois’ Arctic Climate Research Center.
News about growing sea ice isn’t exactly what environmentalists who predicted the North Pole would be free of ice in 2008 want to hear. Al Gore and his fellow alarmists have been telling us for years that melting sea ice and glaciers will dramatically and dangerously increase sea levels.
So where’s the rush to apocalyptic predictions of global cooling? We don’t suppose we’ll see that anytime soon … after all, think of all the brochures the enviro groups would have to trash and replace!
