Deafening Silence on Real Climate Change | Patrick J. Michaels | Cato Institute: Commentary

Deafening Silence on Real Climate Change | Patrick J. Michaels | Cato Institute: Commentary: "A 30-year minimum Antarctic snowmelt record occurred during austral summer 2008-09"

"The last three years are clearly those with the lowest aggregate melt on record."

"May 29, 2007: NASA Researcher Finds Days of Snow Melting on the Rise in Greenland. 'In 2006, Greenland experienced more days of melting snow and at higher altitudes than average over the past 18 years.' Stop the presses! The last we heard each and every year has a fifty-fifty chance of being above (or below) average."

"This one is unbelievably misleading. 'In fact, the amount of snow that has melted this year over Greenland is the equivalent of more than twice the surface size of the U.S.'. This is patently impossible — as Greenland's total area is about a quarter of that of the lower 48 states."
