It has stopped melting he says, and AGWs have their bets on that not happening. They think maximum melt will come in August - still some weeks of counter claim to come. Pierre Gosselin asks why when June was full of media reports about melting ice in the Arctic there is a studied silence on the July figures - or numbers only mentioning the first week of July.

www.nguno/en-gb/Aktuelt/2008/Less-ice-in-the-Arctic-ocean-6000-7000-years-ago/ is an article that dates back to October 2008 but is interesting as raised beaches on the north coast of Greenland are said to suggest ice cover in the Arctic Ocean was greatly reduced some 6000-7000 years ago (Astrid Lysa, a Norwegian geologist, and colleage Eiliv Larsen of the NGU, Norway).

At www.physorg.com/print196059921.html June 18th ... in looking at ice cores from up to 800,000 years ago scientists have found a link between ice melt and C02 abundance in the atmosphere. There has been a 40 per cent increase of C02 in the atmosphere since the last glaciation - and this can largely be attributed, it is being said, to changes in the circulation of oceanic waters surrounding Antarctica.

The second law is supposed to contradict global warming, and popped up online and in print at American Thinker, a Republican orientated magazine that very often has some interesting articles.
