I thought you'd like to know...

...because those of the green left who care so deeply and passionately for the planet must be delighted and relieved; that in Geophysical Research Letters, authors Tedesco and Monaghan observe that the amount of melting ice in Antarctica between October 2008 and January 2009 (the most recent local summer) ...wait for it...was the lowest figure in the (satellite) recorded history - i.e. from 1980. The graph to the right (click to enlarge) was adapted by World Climate Report from Tedesco M., and A. J. Monaghan, 2009. An updated Antarctic melt record through 2009 and its linkages to high-latitude and tropical climate variability... Geophysical Research Letters...

...“A 30-year minimum Antarctic snowmelt record occurred during austral summer 2008–2009 according to spaceborne microwave observations for 1980–2009. Strong positive phases of both the El-NiƱo Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode (SAM) were recorded during the months leading up to and including the 2008–2009 melt season.”
Not even a little peep from the climate alarmist media about this news. Now, if the melt had been a record high…more from Climate Research News here...
