That Sound You Hear...

...just might be the rest of the Arctic sea ice draining away.  It has finally started to build up again, but only after hitting a new low last week.  This outstrips all the climate models that have been predicting when we will lose all the Arctic sea ice permanently, and along with it a huge moderating force for our weather in the Northern Hemisphere (and to a lesser, unknown degree the Southern Hemisphere whose own moderating ice cap is also melting away).

Of course, this all brings out the very best in the "plunder the earth's resources, to heck with the future" crowd.
