From October 2013 to October 2014, only February and July (2014) fell below the 30-year mean for global sea ice. There has been more sea ice on the globe in the last 13 months than there was for the average in 1986, when CO2 levels were about 55 ppm lower than they are now.<br />---<br />http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global-snow/2014/10<br />"When combining the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere sea ice extents, the globally-averaged sea ice extent during October was 27.26 million square km (10.53 million square miles), 0.07 percent above the 1981-2010 average and the 15th smallest (22nd largest) October global sea ice extent on record."<br />---<br />http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global-snow/2014/4<br />"When combining the Northern and Southern Hemisphere sea ice extents, the globally-averaged sea ice extent during April was 23.14 million square km (8.93 million square miles), 4.5 percent above the 1981-2010 average and the third largest April global sea ice extent on record, behind 1979 and 1982."<br /><br />http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global-snow/2014/1<br />"When combining the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere sea ice extents, the globally-averaged sea ice extent during January was 20.44 million square km (7.89 million square miles), 3.8 percent above the 1981-2010 average and the seventh largest January global sea ice extent on record."<br /><br />Kenneth Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198431792165032103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-74074141436745623362014-10-10T09:58:27.166-07:002014-10-10T09:58:27.166-07:00http://www.bishop-hill.net/blog/2014/10/10/ecoaudi...http://www.bishop-hill.net/blog/2014/10/10/ecoaudit-does-the-sea-ice.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-2038838432969268262014-10-10T08:39:58.021-07:002014-10-10T08:39:58.021-07:00Even when they’re wrong, climate scientists insist...Even when they’re wrong, climate scientists insist they are right<br /><br />http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/even_when_theyre_wrong_climate_scientists_insist_they_are_right/#193433<br /><br />This is a fact: <br /><br />The world’s best 50 models were run and 95% of them have Antarctic sea ice decreasing over the past 30 years.<br /><br />Instead, Antarctic ice over those 30 years increased to levels never before measured by satellites.<br /><br />So this must be spin: <br /><br />Dr Guy Williams, a sea ice scientist at the Tasmanian Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (Imas), says ... “In some ways it’s a bit counterintuitive for people trying to understand how global warming is affecting our polar regions, but in fact it’s actually completely in line with how climate scientists expect Antarctica and the Southern Ocean to respond..”<br /><br />Both quotes are in the same story.<br /><br />Truly, global warming is a faith-based theory you can never destroy with mere facts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-84377544367235332052014-10-09T15:59:52.711-07:002014-10-09T15:59:52.711-07:00Antarctic ice floes extended further than ever rec...Antarctic ice floes extended further than ever recorded this southern winter, confounding the world’s most-trusted climate models.<br /><br />“It’s not expected,” says Professor John Turner, a climate expert at the British Antarctic Survey. “The world’s best 50 models were run and 95% of them have Antarctic sea ice decreasing over the past 30 years.”<br /><br />http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/even_when_theyre_wrong_climate_scientists_insist_they_are_right/#193433<br /><br />http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/oct/09/why-is-antarctic-sea-ice-at-record-levels-despite-global-warmingMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714540297202434542noreply@blogger.com
