Arctic ice increased during freezing winter

news.scotsman.com...

Unusually cold weather, caused by the same patterns that have given Britain its coldest winter for decades, has resulted in levels of ice cover in line with longer-term averages for the first time since 2001. The trend was illustrated in figures for March published by the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) in Colorado.

However, the NSIDC stressed the March rise in ice could not be taken as a sign that global warming is coming to an end. A change in the usual pattern of winds around the North Pole has resulted in more cold air than usual in lower latitudes.

and they think we are not starting a global cool down.....

presumably we will get more colder and bitter winters over the next winters to come.

This is good news.

Thousands of square miles of ocean around the North Pole have frozen as a result of the unusual weather phenomenon that caused the dramatic snow experienced in Scotland this winter. Arctic oscillation has created unusually cold winds across the Be ADVERTISEMENT ring Sea, which in turn has caused the increase in the ice cap and allowed icy blasts to escape southwards.

No way..

The Arctic got colder over the winter and more Ice was created?

How strange

I wonder if the IPCC know this? lol

Global cooldown for what? The next ice age? We are not due for one for awhile.

If it is warmer that means more ice is melting then it should, creating more fresh water, creating more fresh water to freeze in the winter.

Actually not a good sign.....

Especially if we have a record heat this year like they are predicting.

One cold winter doesn't negate anything people.

Like who is predicting? The Manmade Global Warming Propagandists?

We in Ireland and the UK were supposed to have the hottest summer on record last year..

Rained for the whole thing, got about 3 weeks of hot weather..

The same predictions are being made this year..

Im for one am not going to listen to them..
