100 Year Old Log Book Debunks Global Warming: Not Much Difference i...

Looks like the hoax of global warming has been debunked once again with the recent discovery of the logs from the expedition led by Captain Robert Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton early in the 1900's.

A study conducted by scientists from the University of Reading has found that the log books, which detail the extent of ice cover, the state of the sea and the weather, shows that not much has changed in the sea ice cover in that part of the planet in the last hundred years! In fact they found that there is a change of only 14% in the summer ice cover in that period!

This discovery has challenged the popular alarmist notion that the earth is heating up dramatically and that drastic measures shall have to be taken if we were to contain this, and avoid the world from literally drowning!

In fact a member of the study team, Dr Jonathan Day, remarked:

Scientists have been grappling to understand this trend in the context of global warming, but these findings suggest it may not be anything new.
If ice levels were as low a century ago as estimated in this research, then a similar increase may have occurred between then and the middle of the century, when previous studies suggest ice levels were far higher

He further went on to say

The missions of Scott and Shackleton are remembered in history as heroic failures, yet the data collected by these and other explorers could profoundly change the way we view the ebb and flow of Antarctic sea ice

In the study, the team examined the ice observations recorded in the ships' logbooks of explorers such as the British Captain Robert Scott and Ernest Shackleton and the German Erich von Drygalski to compare where the Antarctic ice edge was during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration (1897-1917) and where satellites show it is today.
