The Iceberg Lake, Alaska series has profound inhomogeneities, especially in its 20th century portion.

Let me emphasize again: The catastrophe results not from greenhouse gas theory, but from the theory of extreme climactic positive feedback.

To put it another way, the reason that polar bears in some areas easily survive an onshore fast of 4 months or more over the late summer/early fall is that they would get very little to eat (if anything) even if they stayed out on the ice.

There appear to have been more category four and category five storms post-1928 as compared to pre-1928 (12 vs. 9).
