   We are definitely in the “counting angels on the head of a pin” mode. Doesn’t look too catastrophic.

   It’s already April and it looks like Russia is still about 99% snow covered. Is that unusual?

   The ice concentration looks impressive. But it will all melt this September due to global warmcolding.

   WALDO?!?
   The collapse is in MINIMUM, SEPTEMBER ice extent, not in MAXIMUM, MARCH ice extent.

   Which means, you may want to go and find where Waldo SO YOU STOP TALKING ABOUT APPLES WHEN WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ORANGES.

     NSIDC must have made this press release by accident

     March 23, 2011
     Annual maximum ice extent reached
     Arctic sea ice extent appeared to reach its maximum extent for the year on March 7, marking the beginning of the melt season. This year’s maximum tied for the lowest in the satellite record.

       I hate having to keep pointing this out…
       ..but it tied 2006

       That means nothing has changed in 5 years.

       ..and those 5 years were El Nino

   In September, we will still be counting angels on the head of a pin!

   I worked up there (High Arctic). Saw the summer melt. Saw the fall freeze.
   Nothing new. I predict the same thing for this year.

   Move along. Nothing New.

   Did the Baltic Sea get smaller in the last 30 years? All that snow on the land must have taken over sea and now it doesn’t count as sea ice! 😉

   Impressive. Now I’m sure deniers get upset when water doesn’t freeze at -30°C any longer. But wait… it’s Fool’s Day.
