NEW STUDY: WINDS-NOT WARMING-MOVING ARCTIC SEA ICE

A new study by Japanese scientists states that winds blowing Arctic sea ice around is responsible for 50% of variations in Arctic sea ice from September to September, NOT GLOBAL WARMING. They also conclude that over 1/3rd of the downward linear trend over the past 31 years is explained by variations in the local Arctic winds. The winds are simply blowing the ice around in different patters. Same amount of ice just being blown around differently. Click here for the Fox News report on that study. In posts to this blog over one year ago I attributed the variations in Arctic sea ice to two factors: (1) Undersea volcanoes; and (2) prevailing winds moving the ice around and thus forming what appears to be holes in the sea ice pack. Glad that my humble opinion has been justified months later by a study by real life and honest scientists. Click here for my past post of February 8, 2009 relating to winds moving the ice around. Click here for my post of the same date blaming a portion of the melt on volcanoes. If a dunce like me can figure these things out over a year in advance, before Climategate caused major reviews of the whole idea, why couldn't the Greens figure it out, if they are so brilliant?
