So we have to define two different types of snow – cold snow, and hot snow. The peaks in 1978 and 2010 appeared very similar, but the experts tell us that a tiny increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration has changed the fundamental behaviour of physics and chemistry.

CO2 may well be the most powerful substance in the universe.

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Paper: Current Arctic Sea Ice is More Extensive than Most of the past 9000 Years

A peer-reviewed paper published in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences finds that Arctic sea ice extent at the end of the 20th century was more extensive than most of the past 9000 years.
