A cold Arctic summer has led to a record increase in the ice cap, leading experts to predict a period of global cooling.
There has been a 60 per cent increase in the amount of ocean covered with ice
compared to this time last year, the equivalent of almost a million square
miles.
In a rebound from 2012's record low, an unbroken ice sheet more than half the
size of Europe already stretches from the Canadian islands to Russia's
northern shores, days before the annual re-freeze is even set to begin.
The Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific has remained blocked by
pack-ice all year, forcing some ships to change their routes.
A leaked report to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
seen by the Mail on
Sunday, has led some scientists to claim that the world is heading for a
period of cooling that will not end until the middle of this century.
If correct, it would contradict computer forecasts of imminent catastrophic
warming. The news comes several years after the BBC predicted that the
arctic would be ice-free by 2013.

Our civilization has developed in an unusually steady warm period between ice ages.
Another ice age is coming, proof positive is in the geological record.
This has always been known by the true climatologists worldwide.
Will our civilization survive the next ice age?
Gore and his fellow conmen should be imprisoned and all their property and assets confiscated.
Bob - I think the conmen like Big Al Gore and company realized that "Global Warming" was short sighted so they tried to jump ship to "Climate change" but it was too late.
