New paper confirms wind controls Arctic sea ice extent
The Hockey Schtick

May 1,2012

EXCERPT:

A paper published today in Geophysical Research Letters finds that Arctic sea ice extent is controlled by low-level winds which regulate the flow of ice through the Fram Strait. The findings confirm those of other recent papers showing that Arctic sea ice extent is a significant function of wind and currents, not just temperature.

It is our attitude toward free thought and free expression that will determine our fate. There must be no limit on the range of temperate discussion, no limits on thought. No subject must be taboo. No censor must preside at our assemblies.
