Global Cooling?
H/L Arctic Ice Reaches Second-Lowest Seasonal Minimum
AP story - WASHINGTON — Crucial Arctic sea ice this summer shrank to its second lowest level on record, continuing an alarming trend, scientists said Tuesday.
The ice covered 1.74 million square miles on Friday, marking a low point for this summer, according to NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo.
Last summer, the sea ice covered only 1.59 million square miles, the lowest since record-keeping began in 1979.
A more truthful headline would be: Arctic Ice Increases by 9% Over Last Year; Has Global Cooling Replaced Global Warming? And a 9% increase over last year makes the claim "continuing an alarming trend" an absolute lie. But then, what else would you expect from AP?
