Arctic sea ice extent maintained a steady, near-average pace of retreat through the first half of August, making it highly unlikely that a new record low minimum will be reached this year.
Nevertheless, there are extensive areas of low concentration ice, even in regions close to the North Pole
NSIDC needed something negative to say about Arctic ice, and if they waited another week they couldn’t have said it. Those areas of low concentration ice are now high concentration ice.
Reblogged this on GovCrimes.
I guess they do not understand regional averages. Some parts of the region will be above average and some will be below average. NSIDC has to rush these press releases to justify their existence. They are wasting our money.
75% of money spent by NOAA is wasted on BS like this.
The low ice extent of 2012 was an anomaly that will likely not happen again soon. For warmists to claim this anomaly was attributable to AGW put them in a hole they cannot recover from. Warmists have now set the low bar for ice extent and therefore AGW. Now that we are in the positive phase of the PDO, it will be another 70 years until we get back to this point in the nadir of the PDO.

It’s worse than we thought! This cannot be happening.
