Steve Goddard is a paranoid troll. Arctic sea ice extent always approaches normal in late spring and early summer as evidenced by the narrow distribution.

That's true! But it is higher than past 4 yrs so I guess that's good? Then again... I rather have lack of ice so the Polar Vortex can come over southern Canada more often.

Lets come back to this in the Fall and see where it is.

Finally some real data and not some exaggerated or global warming sided data. It seems as though quite a few climatologists will do anything to prove global warming. They will find areas that are warm, areas that have lost ice, but never mention anything about cold periods. On an earlier posts, I even mentioned how I'm skeptical about some data climatologist put out or if it's tweaked to make temps warmer than they are. Several towns in north Dakota were nearly 10 degrees below average overall monthly this Jan and Feb. No one seems to mention that or how my brother that lives in North Texas had snowflakes in the air in April along with a very late freeze which only happens about once every 20 years or so. It seems as though only warming is focused. I have no idea about the future climate, as many of us can't say what's going to happen in the next 100 years, but at least some real data for once.

How so? So, with satellite sea ice data since 1978, there have never been above or below average sea ice area at this time of the year? I respectfully disagree.

[quote=Cambium;39956615]Nice summary! Now tell that to NOAA instead of focusing on the warm melting side only. lol[/QUOTEI

I agree with you! Most scientists will only focus on the warming, areas of less ice, and warm areas. They will not focus on anything average or below normal.

Greenland's ice sheet has gained almost 600GT since September 1, 2017, which is 25GT above the 1981-2010 average.

Was definitely a cold fall, winter and spring in northern hemisphere. (Snow cover top)

2012 had a huge summer melt, wow

After you say this, I hope years ahead of you in your region of Canada experiences a full fledge desiccating drought. You have been through a wet period long enough and are spoiled and have no empathy towards others in the southwest us. Yet you say and copy data from Noah and act you know everything. You are quite angry and very incorrect with your knowledge and data. You all had one of the snowiest and coldest winters yet you say sea is decreasing and anyone is paranoid that thinks otherwise. Drought will come before you as well as more intense weather. I'm ready for a pattern change where you all up north will get the droughts and us in the southwest US will be wetter. I can't wait!

I hope soon with an El Nino coming that your region dries out and desiccates like it was back in the late 1980's. I don't care about your region like you don't care about ours and I hope your area becomes drought stricken, dry, and you can complain more about your loss of sea ice.

Say goodbye to your wet times as the pattern is about to change. La Nina dominate patterns don't last forever. You will have your drought stricken times soon.
