Russian scientist says Arctic getting colder

Forget your thoughts of a balmy Northwest Passage

"Politicians who placed their bets on global warming
may lose the pot"

23 Apr 10 - Forget your thoughts of a balmy Northwest Passage. An Arctic cold snap that began in 1998 could last for years, freezing the northern marine passage and making it impassable without icebreaking ships, said Oleg Pokrovsky of the Voeikov Main Geophysical Observatory.

Scientists who believe the climate is warming may have been misled by data from U.S. meteorological stations located in urban areas, where dense microclimates creates higher temperatures, RIA Novosti quoted Pokrovsky as saying.

"Politicians who placed their bets on global warming may lose the pot," Pokrovsky said.
