Give it a try. Anyone can do it!

We can all be glad global warming is over:
And remember the Arctic Sea ice? The ice we were told so hysterically last fall had melted to its "lowest levels on record? Never mind that those records only date back as far as 1972 and that there is anthropological and geological evidence of much greater melts in the past.
I, for one, never get tired of hearing about Erik the Red's scientific data.
The ice is back.

Gilles Langis, a senior forecaster with the Canadian Ice Service in Ottawa, says the Arctic winter has been so severe the ice has not only recovered, it is actually 10 to 20 cm thicker in many places than at this time last year.
Woo-hoo! The ice is back to about as below average as it was last year around this time. Right before it started to melt like crazy. Looking very similar:


And while our media are looking the other way, thank god we have
scientist-bloggers to set the record straight:
This period is known as the Little Ice Age and, if it returns, will have us begging for the return of Global Warming. It would also bring about calls to increase our CO2 foot prints so we could enhance any ‘”Green House” effect. A green house is a nice place to be when stuck in the arctic climes.
I propose the Florida protocol, wherein each nation comes together to pledge to burn as much coal and crude oil as quickly as possible. It's for the good of the world. And the polar bears.
