Global warming? Satellite data shows Arctic sea ice coverage up 50 percent!

Global warming? Satellite data shows Arctic sea ice coverage up 50 percent!

It was only five years ago in December that Al Gore claimed that the polar ice caps would be completely melted by now. But he might be surprised to find out that Arctic ice coverage is up 50 percent this year from 2012 levels.

“Some of the models suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years,” Gore said in 2008.

    On the news this morning they were saying that a freighter in lake Michigan
    got stuck in the ice and a tug had to break a path for it. First time they have ever
    had ice that thick on lake Michigan this early in the year.
