You may need to start a “count-down” clock for the Arctic ice: the summer solstice starts on June 21, 2013 at 1:04 A.M. EDT.
I fully expect that Arctic ice chart to zero out in 99 days, according to the experts.
Arctic, highest in years, Antarctic, record high mins….not a peep outta MSM …LSM….
Not exactly a hockey stick! Where is the catastrophic warming? Where is the beef?
When discussing ice extent with those qualified to discuss climate, it is very important to remember that nuanced mathematicians define ice-free zero = one million

“Models predict that this decline of the September sea-ice extent will continue in the future, with some models showing summer ice-free conditions (commonly defined as less than 1 million km2 of sea ice extent in September)”

“Thin ice is much easier to melt and soon we will see a summer in which the Arctic Ocean is without ice for a few days (likely by 2016) and then we could see a year round ice free Arctic Ocean as little as ten years later.”
Yes, like saying that Texas and California don’t exist
You’d think that after years if hundreds of stupid predictions that ahve failed miserably they’d learn to stick to the official line = no prediction shall have a time frame that can possibly be fact checked by anyone alive today !!
With science, yes.
With religion – what does it matter?
