A New Climate Alarmist Scare About Loss of Arctic Sea Ice Volume

So don’t get too upset about the announcement of changes in Arctic sea ice volume. The albedo effect of sea ice reflecting incoming sun’s radiation back to outer space in the summer has to do with the sea ice surface area; not volume. Also remember the sun only shines in the Arctic six months of the year. For May, June, July, and early August the sun shines 24 hours a day.

Worries about salt changes in Arctic waters due to sea ice having no salt have to be questionable. Salt is removed from ice as it freezes and stays in the water that didn’t freeze. The volume of Arctic waters that become ice at the time of maximum sea ice extent in late March is insignificant compared to the total volume of Arctic Ocean water.
