   Temps have been running from 2 to -2C all summer. And the last couple days, Canada has been showing ice moving toward Alaska at a rate of 3-5 km/day. MASIE, Canada, and Russia do a much better job of showing true extents than NSIDC.

     NSIDC’s primary purpose these days seems to be to manage the collapse of the sea ice scam.

       The fact is, is there are more tools in the shed to do a much better job these days. SSM/I is only one. To rely solely on that is ludicrous. The above organizations do a much better job at finding the ice.

       Dr. Walt gave his excuses last year on this topic. They don’t go that route because of the human factor. WHAT! An algorithm is a human factor that is failing right now to tell us what is ice with a little water on it to what is truly open sea. The human eye looking over various sat photos is much more accurate albeit with a little error. Wow! Scam is to polite!

   Looks like they’ve got strong easterly winds till Saturday. Don’t look they’ll get very far this week.

   OK, here’s my “funny thing of the day”. I’m looking at the Actic Ocean north of Canada here:

   and I see 22 Weather buoys. There are 67 listed below the map; 25615,25616,25617,25622,25634,26535,26542,26556,26557,47501,47506,47537,47545,47550,47564,47565,47571,47573,48507,48508,48512,48520,48533,48536,48539,48551,48596,48600,48652,48656,48659,48660,48687,48688,48689,48690,48692,48694,48696,48697,48699,48713,48726,48728,48731,48732,48733,48737,48738,48739,48741,48983,62684,62926,63544,63551,63552,63554,63635,63639,63642,64516,64518,64532,64709,64710,64714,

   and not a single one of those is known at the National Data Buoy Centre
