NYT Arctic Ice Reporting Not On Solid Ground

By Chris Horner on New York Times
National Review Institute Blog

In the August 8th New York Times, John Broder reports:

<<< Arctic melting also presents new problems for the military. The shrinking of the ice cap, which is proceeding faster than anticipated only a few years ago, opens a shipping channel that must be defended and undersea resources that are already the focus of international competition. >>>


Considering that this paragraph comes under an article titled “Climate Change Seen as Threat to U.S. security”, one would hope Broder knew he was on solid ground here. Unfortunately he is not. The Arctic ice cap – which principally, and as referenced in this story, is sea ice – is not “shrinking faster than anticipated only a few years ago”, as the latest data continue to affirm.
