   Will it or won’t it? Will the Arctic temperature:
   • Break 0°C (273°K)?
   • Descend more rapidly than the mean?
   • Stay below the mean for the remainder of the year?

   And, if all this comes to pass, what (if anything) presage for the NH weather this winter?

   Antarctic sea ice is rising. Now arctic sea ice is also rising, the warmists are fiddling the numbers.
   Arctic sea ice is declining: http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/seaice.recent.arctic.png
   Arctic sea ice is still rising: http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/old_icecover.uk.php
   They cannot both be true.

     Dating of the data set may not be exactly in sync. Also, different measures of sea ice extent are used. I.e., one group might define open water as less than 15% sea ice and another group might use a different definition.

     Both charts show a sharp decline beginning about April, thru May and June. Which is normal for Arctic ice every year. I think what’s confusing you may be the German custom of writing dates with the day first, next the month… i.e. 1/4 is April 1, not January 4.

     Secondly, as to the claim “the warmists are fiddling with the numbers”. Citation, please?

   Blame Germany

   Germany the new North Korea

   The only light in the side streets is the weak flickering of TVs seen through living room windows.
