35 Years Of Unprecedented Mann-Made Melting Has Left Sea Ice Normal At Both Poles
Locutus! Just how many times do you need to be burned by serial misinformer "Steve Goddard"? Uhhh... when you know you're purposely misinforming, what does that make you? Your parroting of Goddard sure takes on a most self-serving definition of "normal"!
notwithstanding all that lost melted Arctic sea ice over the decades, the monthly November ice extent for 1979 to 2014 shows a decline of 4.7% per decade relative to the 1981 to 2010 average. And, again, but more pointedly this year, increased extent is typically new 1st year ice (not building multi-year ice) that will melt... first... during next years melting season. In this particular case I read that there was an unusually high degree of open water; hence increased ice forming.
the Arctic sea ice melting trend Locutus... melting trend! What's normal to... you?
and this is just extent! Should we talk volume Locutus? Would you like the long-term melt trend as reflected in sea-ice volume? Denier types are always so fixated on extent... but never seem to ever bring up volume! Why is that Locutus?
