<p>Last year, southerly winds blew the Beaufort Sea open in June, causing the dark water to absorb a lot of sunshine and warm up. When the storm came through in August, this warm water mixed with Arctic Basin ice and melted a lot of it.</p>
<p>This year, the Beaufort Sea is completely clogged with ice, and is reflecting most of the 24&#215;7 sunlight back into space. Alarmists are hoping for a big melt this summer, but it isn&#8217;t going to happen.</p>
