Global Warming Hoax: News / Comments / Lies, Damned Lies, and Arctic Temperature Statistics
If CO2 levels have been increasing every year since 1959 (and they have) and CO2 levels are suppose to be causing global warming thus Arctic ice loss, then how can we have so many Arctic "record" warm days before 1960? Do we know with any degree of certainty that Arctic ice extent wasn't lower in 1934? Going back even further (but still very much recent history on a geological time scale) what was the Arctic ice extent in the year 1250 AD near the end of the Medieval Warm Period? Ice cores don't help us with the Arctic because ice there is constantly churned and moves, so old ice can can get churned to the top and move to the edge where it melts (thus destroying any record). So we really have no proxy measurements for Arctic ice, all we have is human observations which only go back about 100 years (and are not at all accurate) and satellite measurements that only go back 29 years.

We have no Arctic "climate record" because we have no Arctic climate history.
