 Light shines in High Arctic darknessScience | 208071 hits | Dec 27 6:02 pm | Posted by: wildrosegirl  People in the High Arctic say their 24-hour darkness isn't as dark as it used to be, and a weather researcher says it's because of the warming climate.Commentsview comments in forum Page 1 You need to be a member of CKA and be logged into the site, to comment on news. |

I dunno... Wouldn't it be more logical that the Earth's ax slightly changed?
Yes, because the axis does shift, on a 100,000 year cycle. But it doesn't change the angle of the sun that much, or that quickly. And we'd notice if it was due to the shift of the axis. But it isn't. The pollution in the atmosphere, we can measure and is very real.
And damn straight Gunny! Climate models are always right, and always supersede observational data.
Now they're literally proposing that sunlight is caused by global warming.
Among the other Signs of the Coming Climate Apocalypse:
You can see a large white object in space some nights and not on others!
People pee more after drinking too much beer!
When you throw something up in the air it eerily comes back down!
Birds can be seen flying to cooler regions every spring!
Old and sick people die with an alarming frequency!
Leaves accumulate on my lawn every fall!
It gets really bright every morning!
before you know it, they'll be saying bread and wine turn into flesh and blood and Mary is the mother of God
Forgive me if I won't lay money on that.
Goodness, the gymnastics the AGW cultists go through must make them awful tired at the end of the day.

The Novaya Zemlya effect: An arctic mirage
Abstract
The arctic mirage is an atmospheric refraction phenomenon caused by a temperature inversion in the lower atmosphere. It is classified into three basic types, two of which (hillingar and hafgerdingar effects) occur fairly frequently. The third is the Novaya Zemlya effect, reported by polar explorers on several occasions as an anomalous sunrise during the polar winter, when the position of the sun was below the horizon. The Novaya Zemlya effect consists of the trapping of light rays beneath a thermocline of large horizontal extent. Within the thermocline layers, the coefficient of refraction must exceed 1, while above and below it the coefficient must be less than 1. Then certain upward rays repeatedly bounce back from the thermocline and are transmitted for long distances around the earth�s curvature. The anomalous sunrise is a special case of this generalized definition. The properties of the Novaya Zemlya effect, analyzed using a laterally uniform stratified-atmosphere model, agree with those reported by polar expeditions. A narrow strip or window appears near the horizon, with or without an image of the sun in the window. An observation sketched by Liljequist in Antarctica is reconstructed to demonstrate the model�s accuracy.
