The map below compares August 5, 2013 vs. August 7, 2012 Arctic ice coverage.
Green represents area of ice present in 2013, but not present in 2012. Red shows the opposite.
The trajectory continues to closely track 2006.

All that thin, rotten decayed ice is giving Arctic alarmists the one fingered salute.
It offended William so badly, that he said he is never coming back. 🙂
I’m betting the September low will be 100% more than last year. Hansen’s head will explode. 😀
Does this mean I learned to walk on stilts for nothing?
Does the ice recovery portend anything for this winter in North America?
It really does! It means Winter will be Winter. The Climate is changing so fast we still have the same 4 seasons.
If I lived in Canada or the northern USA I would strongly consider moving south to avoid the mile thick ice soon to come.
We are pretty f’en tough up here … just buy a few extra shovels and another case of beer.
Somehow I don’t think I or my kids need to worry about the advancing ice sheet in our lifetimes.
It’s a good thing 2012 was the lowest on the satellite record since 1979. Good because we can now test the Arctic amplification speculation. By the end of this decade we should know one way or the other.
