What Is Normal Arctic Ice Extent? « Watts Up With That?

Guest post by Steven Goddard

I have been noticing in recent weeks that NSIDC extent is much closer to their 1979-2000 mean than NANSEN is to their 1979-2007 mean. This is counter-intuitive, because the NANSEN mean should be relatively lower than NSIDC - as NANSEN’s mean includes the low extent years of the 2001-2007 period. Those low years should have the effect of lowering the mean, and as a result I would expect the NANSEN current extent to be equal to or above the 1979-2007 mean.

That’s the target proposal for a federally mandated renewable portfolio standard RPS (also called renewable electricity standard RES) in which the federal government would mandate to have 25 percent of the nation’s electricity from renewable energy by 2025 - primarily wind, solar and hydro.

During the Congressional hearings last week, Congressman G. K. Butterfield (D-NC) told Chairman Henry Waxman, “Not only is [a 25% mandate] impractical, it is impossible.”

By creating a federal renewable portfolio standard, the government is essentially forcing costlier, less reliable energy on the people.
