Over the past several years, the proportion of older, thicker Arctic sea ice has fallen, leaving polar waters dominated by thinner ice that forms in the fall and melts in the summer.

This year the older, thicker ice has increased somewhat over last year
Older ice has been increasing for the last three years. Apparently SA lacks access to the Internet
WIth this in mind – how can those people deny their alarmists motivations behind such statements? I could vomit when reading that kind of lies.
And lies they are. They refuse to look at the data and just harp on about stuff they heared several years ago. They are living in denial about the Arctic.
It leaves you with only two choices….
SA can not be trusted reporting science because their material is outdated or they are just plain stupid….
….or they are crooked
All of the above?
we have a winner!
Scientific American may also be wrong about ‘thin ice.’ From your quote above:
“thinner ice that forms in the fall and melts in the summer.”
The following article says they were wrong in assuming thin ice melted so quickly, per NSIDC
1/1/09, “Sea Ice ends year at same level as 1979,”
“Rapid growth spurt leaves amount of ice at levels seen 29 years ago,” Daily Tech, M. Asher
“Why were predictions so wrong? Researchers had expected the newer sea ice,
which is thinner, to be less resilient and melt easier.
Instead, the thinner ice had less snow cover to insulate it from the bitterly cold air,
and therefore grew much faster than expected, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center.”…
