There has been almost no ice extent loss over the last two days
Compared to the same date in 2007, when the East Siberian Sea was in rapid retreat due to strong southerly winds.
Compared to the September 2007, minimum
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Meanwhile, temps approach boiling point:

Apparently temps are now interpreted as celsius, due to the heat index.
We need to start using Rankine exclusively, just to make it seem that much warmer. (today topped out at a balmy 547°R)
Ice total went a tad up in DMi?

So the extent stays still but the concentration thins out?

I wish people would just use the numbers instead of the dang picture –
http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/timeseries.anom.1979-2008
And why was there noise about 2011 being so far below 2007 in extent when that was the case (while 2011 was equal to or higher than 2007 in area), but when the roles reverse the focus is on area?
I prefer reporting of both metrics.

Ill wind blowing
Villabolo? Mecago? how about Tony Duncan?
Do you see numbers in Kindergartners books. Only large images. Baby steps for IWB, why go prescribing things that IWB is not ready to do.
The last few days 2007 was still going strong whereas 2011 has dropped off on daily ice extent reduction is true but I don’t think you can tell much from those maps, they don’t give and grading of ice cover like Bremen or Cryosphere does to indicate where next melt might most likely occur.

Good your opinion is filed in the appropriate slot.
Aren’t all winds southerly when close to the pole?
Meanwhile, at the other end of the planet… whole article is paywalled but sounds inconvenient.

Antarctic Ice’s Future Still Mired in Its Murky Past
Richard A. Kerr
Summary
“A new reanalysis by two NASA scientists of the three standard ice-monitoring techniques slashes the estimated loss from East Antarctica, challenging the large, headline-grabbing losses reported lately for the continent as a whole. Although not the final word, the new study shows that researchers still have a lot to learn about the vast East Antarctic Ice Sheet.”

I still find it hard to credit that July 25 2007 and July 25 2011 are equal in extent – i.e. that there is as much red as green in the second picture. I reckon the difference must have been in the 15% to 30% concentration band. If so this would be good news for 2011 and worse news for 2007.
