NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center

"As the long Arctic winter sets in, sea ice extent has increased at a faster than average pace. By the end of October, the ice cover had reached the Siberian coast, while open water persisted along the coasts of the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas...

...Overall, during October sea ice extent increased by 119,800 thousand square kilometers (46,300 square miles) per day, which is faster than the 1981 to 2010 average of 89,200 square kilometers (34,400 square miles) per day (Figure 1b). The freeze up was particularly rapid along the Siberian Seas where the ice cover expanded to the coast by the end of the month. Open water remained in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas at the end of October. Ice growth within the channels of the Canadian Archipelago closed off the Northwest Passage."

Wasn't Mittens Romney gonna defund NPR if he got elected president? Actually not a bad idea.


It was PBS and all the Libs freaked because Sesame Street was going to be canceled, not like one of the 50 other channels that cater to kids couldn’t pick it up.

i have to get my fix of npr, once a week, to laugh at how stupid college educated liberals can be.

i love how monotone they get with their voices, as if so serious.

it's pure libtardism at it's worst. And they will suck any African Americans cooch or dick that comes on.

This is my retort to the climate folks. What happened to the 2 mile thick glaciers in North America 10000 yrs ago... I guess it was non manmade Global Warming.

Earth's climate has always swung between warm and cold, with ice ages driven by natural cycles. The presence of glaciers 10,000 years ago isn't directly comparable to today's warming trend. These two phenomena operate on different timescales. Ice ages, driven by natural long-term cycles, waxed and waned over thousands of years. Current warming, primarily caused by human greenhouse gas emissions, is rapid and occurring within a century.

Greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels trap heat in the atmosphere, causing global temperatures to rise rapidly. This warming trend, distinct from natural cycles, is backed by overwhelming scientific evidence.

While the past offers valuable insights into Earth's climate history, understanding the present requires focusing on the dominant force shaping our future: human impact on the planet's delicate balance.

The white supremistd cows were driving gas cars and farting too much, obviously. 1492 was a damn hot year, we should tear down columbus' studies because it was his fault.

Not only several states. November 2023 officially holds the title of hottest November on record globally! Global temperatures soared, with widespread warmth observed in regions like Africa, Asia, and South America. This marks the sixth consecutive month a global heat record has been broken, a concerning trend highlighting the urgency of addressing climate change.

I remember listening to this when I was 4 and thinking this is 100% pure propoganda.

Have not listened since.

Does NPR still have artsy-fartsy musical filler in between stories and sound effects during stories? On this alone they should have been banned years ago.

Because 20-30 years is an appropriate sample size?

That’s not even 1 millisecond in the existence of the planet.


exactly. imagine a bunch of butterflies that only live 1 day. They built a great civilization in the morning and tore it down in the afternoon because it got hotter.

that's dumb, right? RIGHT?

Hasn't EVERY years since like 1980 been "The hottest ever"? At least by some fearmongering twit...


It's worse at the local TV level: 'This is the hottest August in Caddo Parish since 1900! Make sure you drink lots of water if you're going out today!'

Well it's never snowed in Greenland or the Arctic, so that is a very important caveat. Arctic sea ice was the sixth lowest on record in the 20-30yrs it's been recorded.
