That was lightning fast spam! I tried to catch it before it melted into molded mystery meat, but alas it got canned all too quickly. 😉
If you adjust for the step down from the storm it’s clear 2012 wouldn’t have been “the lowest on record”. The sense of victory those that believe in “manmade” global warming are feeling is a false one.
You have to give a little slack to people like Gon. It appears they aren’t much for thinking.
It does appear to be flat, my guess is that it will begin its recovery.
I think ‘gon’ and ‘sod’ are related – they’re both maroons!
Then there are those of us who would like to see the arctic become ice-free, to show everyone how quickly the ice comes back. I think they would be amazed — and rightly so — by the stubborn stability of the system.
harry,
My thoughts exactly. It would be great to see an ice-free Arctic just to see what would really happen. Probably nothing much besides alarmist hysteria – ice would reform come winter. Animals and wildlife? I think it would surprise people how well they would adapt. People up there? They would have to make some adjustments for a couple of weeks; maybe not even that.
@AminoAcids:
So you want to ignore the effects of weather on the trend, eh? How would you feel about looking at the global temperature trend without ENSO, aerosols, and TSI?
If you’re going to apply the standard of “well if it wasn’t for ___ weather, this wouldn’t have happened”, you should apply it consistently. By those standards, suddenly the Earth has warmed a lot in the last 14 years, contrary to skeptical claims.
How would you feel about looking at the global temperature trend even without AMO

Read my lips, without detrended AMO there is only almost linear 0.55C / century trend with no acceleration, I´ve heard there was little ice age or something.
Ok, I give you 0.1C for co2 , earth willi be like Venus tomorrow
Someone please explain to me how the ice north of 80N can melt in September. Temperatures have been below freezing for 6 consecutive days and won’t rise significantly above freezing until June. Oh, and it has been snowing for the last 24 hours in the Canadian arctic, adding to the thickness.
Winter comes every year. This one won’t be much different from the last 100, more or less.
“Someone please explain to me how the ice north of 80N can melt in September.”
Nuclear detonation? Massive meteor strike? It ‘could’ happen. 😉
Say no more it was neven. The reknowned tosser
