Despite the oft repeated media claims that the Arctic ice is melting and we could have an ice free north Pole, there is some very good news.
Using a variety of data sources, but primarily direct observations, the ice in the Arctic is getting thicker – some projections suggest that multi-year ice (perennial ice versus annual ice) will be 200% thicker at the end of 2008 than it was at the beginning. What is more, Arctic sea ice is already 28.7% higher than this date last year.
In addition, the Antarctic is also showing thocker ice than for some time - further evidence of global cooling.
