In his recent article, MP Colin Mayes states according to the Danish Meteorological Institute, Arctic ice has made a comeback, and Arctic temperatures have returned to normal lows. What the institute actually says is satellite observations show that mass loss of the ice sheet is increasing each year and more rapidly than predicted. (www.dmi.dk/dmi/en/index/klima/ice_sheet_modelling.htm). Climate change has been shown to have contributed to the mountain pine beetle epidemic which has devastated the forest industry in Mr. Mayes’ own riding.
