Last night, there was a report on the melting Arctic sea ice and how it is
affecting our weather:
It was followed by a debate chaired by Jeremy Paxman between the new

Just another bunch of fools calling each other names. The MP was
suckered into some propaganda from an upcoming TV show.

Looking at those pictures showing the difference between 1979 and today
seems to show that most of the ice melt is occuring on the Russian/American
side of the pole whereas it looks virtually unchanged on the European side ,
am I wrong ?
