Sea Ice Ends Year at Same Level as 1979
DailyTech - Sea Ice Ends Year at Same Level as 1979
Rapid growth spurt leaves amount of ice at levels seen 29 years ago.
Thanks to a rapid rebound in recent months, global sea ice levels now equal those seen 29 years ago, when the year 1979 also drew to a close.
Ice levels had been tracking lower throughout much of 2008, but rapidly recovered in the last quarter. In fact, the rate of increase from September onward is the fastest rate of change on record, either upwards or downwards.
With all the chicken little threads about melting ice, I found this article rather intriguing... If you read the article, it even mentions how some thought the north pole would completely melt by 2008. I believe this has not occurred and levels seem to ebb and flow.
