 Peak Sea Ice n 2014 20th March. Just 1 day short of the latest peak seen in 2003 (in the JAXA data) On the 20th March it was the size of 59.3 United Kingdoms or just over 1.5 USA's So quite clearly disappearing Over to you Mr Gore |

---------------------------------------- It's melting Ohhh! You cursed brat! Look what you've done! I'm melting! Melting! ...as it does ever year at this time It's the relative angle towards the Sun allowing the longer day length that does it you know  It's amazing the amount of Energy we get from that huge ball of fusion powered plasma 93 million miles away Even allowing for the scattering, reflection and incidence to the Earth surface, the annual global power demand (in all forms) impinges on the surface of the Earth every 1 hour 21 minutes http://www.sandia.gov/~jytsao/Solar%20FAQs.pdf and that's just the bit that makes it down to the ground. |

Alged
----------------------------------------The anti-fracking piece is by the BBC I don't need to say any more. Are they suggesting we shouldn't drill because in the past after production well heads have been abandoned? That is the equivalent of saying we shouldn't go to the moon again because afterwards we end up with these huge lumps of concrete we used as the launch pad. It's just weasel words to provide the opportunity to push the drinking water contamination line. I'll say again the shale gas will be extracted from 10,000ft below the surface. Much better an orphaned well than any radioactive legacy we leave behind. [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Mar 26, 2014 7:32:39 AM] |

The horror
---------------------------------------- 35,000 sq kms above normal. Just a bit more than a Belgium. Terrifying this almost normal isn't it. We must do something to stop it Save the Planet from this outrageous typicalness Stop the sameness Demand action from your local Politician. Ask them what they are doing to prevent this outpouring of average. If they say "Nothing" shame them into stopping this relentless day after day month after month year after year monotony. Ask them when they are going to deliver on the promise of catastrophe we are all funding. Dave |
