Washington – Secretary of State John Kerry will visit the Arctic Circle next week for key ministerial talks on climate change amid global concerns about rising seas and accelerating ice melt.
Global warming is happening twice as fast in the Arctic than elsewhere on the planet and many fear not only devastating impacts of warming but also from an influx of people and industry on the pristine environment, wildlife and Inuit culture.
Sea level has been rising for 22,000 years. It will continue to rise until Earth begins to cycle back towards the next ice age.
Arctic melt this year has been the slowest on record, with almost no change in extent over the past 60 days.
Arctic sea ice volume is rapidly expanding and higher than it was seven years ago.
The past few summer melt seasons have been the coldest on record north of 80N
South of 82.5N, Arctic temperatures have been flat for a decade.

Scientists made the same claims about the Arctic 70 years ago. Arctic climate is cyclical.

Gavin and Tom don’t want us to know about past cycles of Arctic warming, so they simply erase them.
Kerry hopes to do for the Arctic what he just did in the Middle East. Create chaos based on raw stupidity and misinformation.
