Is There Global Warming?
Welcome........
I am not a scientist and do not pretend to be. But, I have been watching the issue of climate change now for two decades and have found it is not what many say it is. Here are a collection of articles, sources, and information. Use it if you like. Hopefully it will encourage you to seek your own truth since this is one of the great issues of our time.

Smallest Arctic ice extent in the modern record...was in the 1940s link
Temperatures. Little change in the past century, tied to ocean cycles, not CO2 link
Arctic ice growth trend the past 12 years link
Chart, Actic ice growth since 2007 link
No loss of ice 10 years dmi link
No Arctic sea ice loss for the past 13 years link chart
Sea ice extent since 1979 chart link
Extent stable since 2007, Japan Meteorlogical Agency link
ice extent past ten years link
Track Arctic ice thickness here link
Northwest Passage.....In the past, more expensive ice-classed vessels, higher transit fees, unpredictable ice coverage, high insurance rates, a lack of search and rescue teams, and hefty fees for Russian ice-breaker escorts have put off many international shipping firms.
More Arctic sea ice than most of the past 10,000 years link
Forests 5,000 years ago extended to Arctic sea link
99% of global ice is located in Antarctica and Greenland. If they both melted entirely sea level would rise 200’. The ice shelves make up one-half percent of global ice, if they melted entirely sea level would rise 14 inches. Sea ice comprises 6% of global ice, they average 6 feet in thickness, if they melted entirely sea level would rise four inches. If the 200,000 temperate zone global glaciers melted entirely, sea level would rise two feet. Antarctic ice is as much as three miles thick, Greenland one mile. For Antarctic ice to melt, temperatures must rise at least 54 degrees F.
Artic much warmer in earlier times link

Artic ice trend compared to AMO link
286 Northwest Passage voyages since 1853 link
Late summer ice growing since 2007 link

Ice volume increasing overall since 2012 link
Multidecadal Oscillations in the Pacific and the Atlantic are acknowledged to be the result of natural processes. The warm mode of the Pacific results in warm water off Alaska that can enter the arctic through the Bering Strait and produce arctic ice melt. The warm mode of the AMO also results in warming in the North Atlantic waters, which are carried by the North Atlantic current into the arctic reducing ice depth and extent. When you combine the two cycles, you can explain the temperature and ice cover variances of the past 110 years for the Arctic.
