This Is For Becky, Who Was Surprised By The Disappearing Lake In The Arctic; The Arctic Sees Shortest Summer On Record

IceAgeNow is reporting:  Unprecedented July Cold – Arctic Sees Shortest Summer On Record

“Normally the high Arctic has about 90 days above freezing. This year there was less than half that,”  says Steven Goddard website.

“The Arctic ice extent is showing a remarkable recovery from the great oscillations of 2012,” says Guimaraes. “Compare with the previous years listed there, you’ll see that 2004 is the year that is closest to 2013 in terms of average temps during the summer.”

I'm glad President O'Bama is on top of this. 

Note: to repeat -- this is the shortest Arctic summer on record. Not just the shortest summer in that past few years, or the past decade, or the past century, but the shortest summer on record. And it should be noted Vikings were in the Arctic a long, long, long time ago.

My hunch is they didn't keep records. But the tree rings won't lie.
