More debunking of the Yarrow Axford midge study: glaciers releasing pollutants into lakes years later.
From the American Chemical Society via Eurekalert yet another reason why we asked “did you check the lake for DDT?”. Also, a review of Miller et al 2005 suggests that…
Baffin Island Midge Study – debunked for a 3rd time – nearby weather station shows no warming
From World Climate Report: Baffling Island There is a bit of press covering a just-published paper that concludes that the current climate and ecological conditions in a remote lake along…
"Proof" that media is hyping AGW shamelessly without asking basic questions like: "did you check the lake for DDT"?
From news.com.au this “stunning” development citing lake sediment and some midges “proves” everything. Glad that’s settled. See thoughts at the end. This is the title of the story at news.com.au,…
UPDATE: Trampling – Not Climate Change or Poaching – Likely Cause of Icy Cape Walrus Deaths
WUWT readers may recall this story from last month: Climate Alarmists rush to judgment on dead walruses, ignore other possibilities The issue has been settled. No mention of climate change or…
The Top Ten Reasons why I think Catlin Arctic Ice Survey data can't be trusted
First, I loathe having to write another story about Pen Hadow and his Catlin Arctic Ice expedition, which I consider the scientific joke of 2009. But these opportunistic explorers are…
Another possible DMSP/SSMI sea ice sensor failure?
Readers may recall that I brought an issue with NSIDC’s sea ice data to their attention back in February 09. The official response from Walt Meier then was “its not…
New paper: Barents Sea Temperature correlated to the AMO as much as 4C – potential for sea ice effect
A new paper just published in the Geophysical Review Letters finds a significant correlation between the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and the water temperature of the Barents Sea. This was…
The surprising real story about this year's Northeast passage transit: The media botched it

2009 Arctic Sea Ice Extent exceeds 2005 for this date
Those that have been watching the IARC-JAXA Arctic sea ice plot, and noting the slope of gain, rather expected this to happen. Today it did. Here’s the current IARC-JAXA Sea…
Climate Alarmists rush to judgment on dead walruses, ignore other possibilities
All over the web today, there’s the theme of: “dead walrus = caused by climate change”. On the Climate Progress blog they have this picture of the dead walruses (seen…
NSIDC still pushing "ice-free Arctic summers"
This is the press release sent out by NSIDC today (sans image below). Instead of celebrating a two year recovery, they push the “ice free” theme started last year by…
Mapping the Greenland ice cap thickness

2nd day – Arctic sea ice is again on the rise
Yesterday I looked at JAXA data and ventured that: “Arctic sea ice melt appears to have turned the corner for 2009” The Sept 15th JAXA Arctic Sea Ice extent graph was…
Arctic sea ice melt appears to have turned the corner for 2009
It appears Arctic sea ice has bottomed out and is now on the growth rebound. The NANSEN Arctic ROOS website shows that in terms of area, sea ice appears to…
Cryosphere Today: Arctic is now ice-free*, Antarctica unaffected
NSIDC’s Mark Serreze must be thrilled, as he’ll now be able to justify some of his press releases. Gore must be ecstatic that his 2013 “Entire north polar ice cap…
Oh no, not this rubbish again: "Recent projections suggest polar bears could be extinct within 70 years"
