Sea ice grows. What do alarmists say now?

[nero_bolt]

If vanishing sea ice was evidence of global warming, what does increasing ice mean? Can’t wait to hear the scaremongers explain this away:

ANTARCTIC sea ice has expanded to record levels for April, increasing by more than 110,000sq km a day last month to nine million square kilometres.

The National Snow and Ice Data Centre said .... “This exceeds the past record for the satellite era by about 320,000sq km, which was set in April 2008,...”

Increased ice cover in Antarctic continues to be at odds with falling Arctic ice levels, where the summer melt has again pushed levels well below the average extent for 1981-2010… [But] the April Arctic minimum was 270,000sq km higher than the record April low, which occurred in 2007.

Together, that leaves us with above-average sea ice:

Have a listen to him L27, might learn something.

Others as well who spend years researching

 learn to be a misinformed paranoid jerk maybe, not what i'm after sorry.

think again
if you think he is a "misinformed paranoid jerk" L27, you are very mistaken.
Have a listen, watch his movies

"Sea ice grows. What do alarmists say now?"

I see we now have blue memory loss NW, but I suppose it balances our prolific pink C&Per, because you were commenting sans science a while back about the same subject !

I have observed however, that scientific research, and awareness would both appear to be somewhat lacking pink or blue,  then and now, so that is one constant in the debate.

I will post some comments I made a month or so ago:

NOAA National Climatic Data Center
"The January Antarctic sea ice extent is highly variable, with the record smallest and largest January sea ice extents occurring within the past eight years. The record smallest January sea ice extent occurred in 2006 at 4.25 million square km (1.64 million square miles), and the record largest January sea ice extent occurred in 2008 at 6.88 million square km.  (2014  sea ice extent was 6.71 million square km) "

So if you study the figures (?) and then select a period from 2008-2014 you actually might realise that the Antarctic sea ice is decreasing. I am adopting a much used method of carefully chosen time periods (does 17 years and 8 months ring a bell?)

Where exactly does Antarctic sea ice coverage fit into your concept of global warming/climate change NW ?    so sea ice coverage contributes, how?

You possibly might find this graph of interest (?) (I suspect you would dislike the Antarctic , or Southern hemisphere, temperature/time data)

Figure 4: Annual mean surface air temperature averaged over the ice-covered areas of the Southern Ocean. Straight line is trend line (Zhang 2007).

The  important word in the above graph title, where this debate is concerned,  being"  TEMPERATURE, not air pressure or sea ice area, but TEMPERATURE.

Confusing?: sea ice area AND surface air temp both increasing, just ask for an explanation (maybe even research???)

The trend  for both is still positive today

i don't think he is,  i'm certain he is.

otherwise his only motivation is the money he recieves from the usual koch bros slushfunds .which make him a paid liar and stooge.. either way..

[ashjoma]

I don't think so. Someone does not work the amount of work he has and research he has done for 20 plus years, death threats etc and the hours he puts in, for that
He is genuine

[lakeland27]

 he most likely threatened himself for attention   he's too insignificant to worry about as far as i'm concerned. a small loopy audience is no threat to anyone but themselves anyway.  just another dingbat who will pass into insignificance.. as far as i'm concerned he already has. .. he never achieved significance.

Record snowfalls too in north eastern U.S.A this recent winter so we're obviously entering an ice age. They won't need boats soon to get to Australia.They'll skate.
Look at the bright side.The medal count will be more evenly spread at the Winter Olympics:)

Quote on Abbott: "turn his own side into a party of climate change-denying punishers of boat people and even Australian poor"

[izabsmiling]

The Alarmists are out in force.Poor Tony Abbott...the Corporations who befriended him and helped him become PM expect the carbon and mining tax to be gone by now.

I'd imagine that they are really putting the presure on him too

Is Tony Abbott still living with the police cadets ?
