Good news for Polar Bears
According to an article in London’s Daily Mail newspaper this month, “the amount of sea ice covering the Arctic
dramatically increased last month, reaching levels not seen at this time of year for nearly a decade.
The unusual trend last month is revealed in figures published by the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado.
Returning ice - after years of declining cover - has astonished climate scientists who blamed unusually cold weather
over the Bering Sea.
Researchers said they recorded the most ice in March since 2001 - and that the cover is approaching long-term average
levels for the first time in ten years.”
Kiwi Party leader Larry Baldock welcomed the latest findings but wonders why we have not seen fresh photos on the
evening news of this new wide expanse of ice?
"This new ice cover may still be too thin to completely finish off the global warming alarmists, but if our media are
committed to reporting the truth, we should at the very least see an end to the repetitive showing of footage of polar
bears floating on little blocks of ice,” said Mr Baldock.
The Kiwi Party believes the Government should be postponing the introduction of the ETS. Government policy should be
based upon the actual Global Average Temperature record which has been showing a clear cooling trend over the past
decade, rather than the increasingly discredited theory of man made global warming.
“Unfortunately, knowing the bias that has existed in the media on the subject of anthropogenic climate change, we will
probably have to see ice-skating on Lake Taupo at Christmas before they update their pictures,” he said.
