Default Good News: Arctic Ice Extent Looks Very Healthy

Did anybody see the article in the Daily Telegraph today (Tues)? Lord
Stern, apparently an 'expert', has written a new book on global
warming. According to the DT he states that temperatures may rise by
6C (DT slips in 43F!!!!) and alligators could live at the North Pole!
I guess average temps at the NP in Winter are around -40 degs and
about zero in mid Summer. So those lucky old 'gators are going to have
fun at -34 degs in Winter and will be getting heat stroke in balmy
temperatures of 6 degs in Summer! No wonder there are sceptics like me
around when such total rubbish is being fed to the press.....


The press are the undefeated champions at making sows' ears out of silk
purses. My experience with them has proved that they can be fed the
equivalent of a gourmet meal but what comes out of the other end after
they've digested it is something else entirely different.
