snagged in outlet 3 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 A 30% reduction in Artic sea ice seems pretty substantial to me. Here is the link http://www.stltoday.com/news/national/article_1b2c0501-8f68-5568-9e5a-f2a8074c3d3f.html
stlfisher Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I would say that is substantial. Lot's of strange weather patterns lately.
flytyer57 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I would say that is substantial. Lot's of strange weather patterns lately. But according to some, it's just cyclic. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.

ColdWaterFshr Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 A 30% reduction in Artic sea ice seems pretty substantial to me. Here is the link http://www.stltoday.com/news/national/article_1b2c0501-8f68-5568-9e5a-f2a8074c3d3f.html I read that this morning as well. And I agree, 30% of anything sounds substantial. But read it closely again. Its a 30% reduction in Arctic sea ice for the month of September only. And only since 1979. I don't know what to make out of statements like that. But its easy to twist statistics in all kinds of funny ways to make them sound worse than they are. What about the month of October? Suppose it was a 35% INCREASE in arctic sea ice from 1999-2009 for the month of October? I don't know. It would be interesting to see what the ice did for 30 year periods for each month going back 3,000 years. Plot those graphs and then lets talk.
snagged in outlet 3 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 I smell what your steppin in Pdiddy. Without going back to the article, didn't it say "the all important month of Sept"? I would like to see all that data also. SIO3
snagged in outlet 3 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 Went and checked, "Bellweather month of Sept". Wonder what that means?
gotmuddy Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Here is my uneducated guess, What if the seasons are changing due to eliptical orbits or axial tilt? everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.

flytyer57 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Here is my uneducated guess, What if the seasons are changing due to eliptical orbits or axial tilt? Warmer at the poles colder at the equator. It crossed my mind but it's pretty far out there. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.
