2 May 10 - (Excerpts) - "According to satellite data
received by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, the Arctic was more
ice-bound each day of April than it had been any other corresponding day
in April since its sensors began tracking the extent of Arctic Ice in
mid 2002. To see this tracking on the Japan Aerospace website, run
jointly with the International Arctic Research Center visit
http://www.ijis.iarc.uaf.edu/en/home/seaice_extent.htm. "While Arctic ice has always varied greatly, expanding and contracting during the course of a year and also from year to year and decade to decade, the expansion of the Arctic ice this decade is significant in one respect: It acts to disprove the models that had predicted that the Arctic ice in this century would not recover as it had in previous centuries. "The expansion of the Arctic ice also acts to support a growing number of reports that Earth could be in for a period of global cooling."
