arctic ice melts to record low: scientists, page-39

"Back to science" is a good move denmor.

Let's start with your "Canadian Arctic experts". Could you please post their names so I can check their credentials and publicatons.

Now can we please have a better handle on "frequently been devoid of sea ice during summer months". How frequently and how many months?

Now the perennial ancient favourite "the Medieval Warm Period". What techniques do these "Canadian Arctic experts" use to reconstruct temperatures? The existence of bowhead whale remains might indicate that these animals were breaking ice holes as they do now.

Thanks in advance.
