We’re all going to die…from too much arctic ice!

So much for an ice-free Arctic. Henry Hudson’s long-ago dream of a Northwest Passage that would link England to the Orient by sea will have to wait another century as Mother Earth gives him the cold shoulder. Again.

From Real Science: “1979 was the peak year for Arctic ice, yet 2012 has more ice around Greenland and Alaska than 1979 did.”

Same date satellite data seems to show that Iceland and everywhere else is iced over this year when they were feeling a little green 33 years ago.

Okay, this one is a cheat; unlike all the other posts in the We’re All Gonna Die! series which feature actual hysterical claims of doom, this is not an end times prediction.  This is actually an anti-doom story. But this did seem like a good time to make that nice, round number 40th post in the series, highlighting yet more evidence that ought to shame the doom-mongers.

Of course, if history is any guide, it’s only a matter of time before the excessive ice of global cooling becomes the new melting ice of global warming (which is itself the new global cooling, which I guess will then make global cooling the new global cooling – oh what a tangled web of hysteria we weave!).
