Another summer gone by... another year without ice on the North Pole.

Methinks it's a little early for that prediction. (The coldest weather up there is in the winter time)

Objection! Assumes facts not in evidence, to wit, the presence of a brain.

We taking bets for 2016?

 

[EagleSmack]

Summer is here!

Ice Free!

 

[EagleSmack]

About a month and a half to go!

I really miss the ice at the North pole... It was so nice and cool and refreshing.

Shame that it's been gone since 2013

The funny part is that the OP is from 2008.

It's great ain't it.

.... And yet, there are still tards out there that believe in this crap

I'd guess at that latitude (90 degrees) there will be heavy morning frost in about two weeks.

Even at 60°N there is two weeks left.

60°N was chosen as being the limits of potential grain crops hence 60°N being the border with the territories and Western Provinces.

100% consensus.

Here's one for you Pete. Clinton B.C. (approx. 51 N) registered +0.6C yesterday.

Altitude?

 

[JLM]

Altitude?

+/- 3000 feet.


Weatherwise it's a world apart from Ashcroft, 30 miles away.

 

[petros]

900m

That explains but it's still low.

You gotta figure, if every year they keep saying that "this is the summer there that the North Pole will be ice free", there's abound to be the chance they'll eventually be right sometime down the line. In the meantime, it helps to keep all the Chicken Littles nice and compliant with their eco-masters so that the greatest transfer of wealth in human history can take place.

I'm not sure that the North Pole being ice free (if it ever happens) for 15 minutes will be of any great significance. The polar bears probably won't like it anyway!
