According to a new paper published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, the observed mean thickness of the sea ice in the region north of (Arctic) Svalbard was substantially thinner (0.94 m) in 1955 than it has been in recent years (~1.6 m, 2015/2017).
In 1955, the atmospheric CO2 concentration hovered around 315 ppm, about 90 ppm lower than today's CO2 values.
It is widely assumed that the steep and substantial rise in CO2 concentration since the 1950s is largely responsible for warming the Arctic, and consequently the decline in the Arctic's sea ice volume and extent (IPCC, 2013). This assumption is significantly predicated on the observation that sea ice has undergone precipitous losses since the 1970s, which is when the satellite era began.
Comment: The cooling observed in the Arctic is happening all around the planet:
- This winter's record breaking brutal weather documented in epic list - and it's not over yet
- Global cooling: Snow settles on the mountains of southern Norway just 2 days before midsummer
- Huge increase in snowfall over Antarctica say NASA, growing since 1900
- Austrian ski industry researcher declares "every mountain station" in the Alps shows "winters have gotten colder"
- Heavy snowfall wreaks havoc in China: 1.5 million people affected, 21 killed and 700 homes destroyed

All mountain passes remained open but the asphalt can be slick. State broadcaster NRK reported that highway officials at Statens vegvesen aren't demanding a shift to winter tires, but warn that relatively cold temperatures are forecast for the rest of the week. "Drive in accordance with weather conditions," was their standard advice

A FREEZING cold snap has blanketed parts of the country in fluffy white snow.
Australians have packed on the layers as icy chills continue to blow across southeast Australia thanks to the cold front that's been pushing through the Great Australian Bight since Wednesday.
Severe weather warnings have been issued for parts of New South Wales today as strong gusty winds with cold temperatures and showers are forecast.
The Bureau of Meteorology said a complex low over the Tasman Sea was directing a "vigorous westerly airstream" over NSW ahead of a south to south-westerly change which would move along the coast today.
Damaging winds averaging 60 to 65km/h are predicted with peak gusts of more than 90km/h.
A south to south-westerly wind change is forecast to move along the coast, reaching the Hunter coast by late morning.
Showers may bring damaging wind gusts along the coastal fringe in areas including Gosford, Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong.
Comment: Some other 'global cooling' reports from around the world in the past two weeks include:
- Global cooling: 6 feet of snow remain around Labrador lodge, 'unprecedented' this late in June
- Global cooling: Unusually long period of snow cover on Mt Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
- Global cooling: June snow at Showdown and other parts of Montana
- Global cooling: Rare snowfall for Santiago, Chile
- Global cooling: 'Very unusual' June snowfall in Glennallen, Alaska - Up to 8 inches

Even for Labrador, the amount of snow around Igloo Lake Lodge is surprising.
A little snow, sure, but the banks around the southeastern Labrador fishing camp is wreaking havoc on summer plans.
"It's not uncommon to see snow around the lodge — not six feet, though," says Jim Burton, who operates Igloo Lake Lodge.
The lodge borders Mealy Mountain National Park, about 115 kilometres southeast of Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
Burton said this is the first time in 50 years he's had to fly in a snowmobile in order to get supplies to the camp and get it ready for the season.
Mount Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro National Park Chief Park Warden, Ms Bertita Loibooki told the 'Daily News' yesterday that the observed snow that accumulated on the mountain's highest peak, plays an important role in protection of glacier from sublimation.
She said many people; including tourists are attracted by the white covered Kibo Peak of the Africa's highest mountain and have been seen coming to take pictures from different possible corners.
"The rains that occurred from January to May brought accumulation of snow on the Kibo Peak.
