Time to take a quick look at the sea ice situation down under, as I must have missed it on BBC News. According to NSIDC, a new record high has been set for April, beating last year. Ice is above average virtually all around the continent. Meanwhile, according to Bob Tisdale, Southern Ocean surface temperatures continue to plunge. It really does not take a genius to add two and two together. --Paul Homewood, Not A Lot Of People Know That, 3 May 2015 Falling oil and gas prices have short-circuited rollouts of renewable energy and alternative vehicle use, setting back progress toward reaching climate goals, the world's top energy body said Monday. Many analysts had been hopeful that renewable investment could withstand the price drop brought about by America's shale oil and gas boom. But the IEA says it's not happening. --Rob Wile, Fusion, 4 May 2015https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_southern_hemi_extent.png
