New paper finds another natural mechanism controlling Arctic sea ice extent — Study published in the International Journal of Climatology
Study 'finds 40-79% of the variation in western Arctic sea ice extent is due to natural atmospheric circulation patterns such as the Arctic Dipole (AD), Arctic Oscillation (AO), and Pacific-North American (PNA) pattern. Prior research has shown Arctic sea ice extent is also controlled by natural variation of winds and storm activity, and related to the geography of the Arctic, not alleged anthropogenic global warming.'
