Theone aspect of present climate punditry that has been a skeleton inthe closet has been a decided inattention to the Arctic's historicalrecord as we have it before the advent of sat elites. This item is asmall step to remedy all that.
Thepoint is that warming in the Arctic appears to come in sustainedsurges that last several years before reversion to the naturalaverage.
Theimportant question that remains unanswered is whether any of itrepresents compelling trend lines outside the expected recovery fromthe little ice age and even that may be just an excessive pulse thattook decades to recover from.
Wehave identified the Antarctic maximum as a plausible pulse producingsource of cold water into the Atlantic basin which would naturallyaccelerate the removal of warmer surface waters.

Die kalteSonne website has another report about the Arctic. It presents achronology showing that really nothing unusual is happening today.You’ll find it below translated in English.

We’veseen it once already – Arctic sea ice melting happened in the firsthalf of the 20th century
By Dr. Sebastian Lüning and Prof. FritzVahrenholt
When one hears orreads the reports about the Arctic sea ice, it helps to rememberthat satellite measurement did not begin until 1979. Thus we havedata only for a period of just over 30 years. This barely suffices tofulfil the gladly used “climate definition” of a minimum periodof 30 years. So we can’t avoid having a suspicious feeling, aswe ask what did the sea ice do before satellite measurement began?Can we just simply skip over this and simply add the notation that wejust don’t know much about it? Of course not. That would be tooeasy. Before the days of satellite measurement, ships travelled inthe Arctic and brought back information about sea ice cover in theregion.
In the followingchronology, we present some of these reports. You’ll be amazed bywhat was observed.1907 The New YorkTimes reported on an Arctic heat wave. Source: RealScience.

========================================Note: I translatedLüning’s and Vahrenholt’s text rather than seeking out theoriginal quotes, and so there may be some slight deviations from theoriginal.
