And now it's global COOLING! Record return of Arctic ice cap as it grows by 60% in a year
- Almost a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than in 2012
- BBC reported in 2007 global warming would leave Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013
- Publication of UN climate change report suggesting global warming caused by humans pushed back to later this month
A chilly Arctic summer has left nearly
a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than at the same
time last year – an increase of 60 per cent.
The
rebound from 2012’s record low comes six years after the BBC reported
that global warming would leave the Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013.
Instead,
days before the annual autumn re-freeze is due to begin, an unbroken
ice sheet more than half the size of Europe already stretches from the
Canadian islands to Russia’s northern shores.
