Walt Meier used to claim that positive Antarctic ice anomalies were smaller than negative Arctic ice anomalies, and only occurred in the Southern winter.
Massive fail on both counts.

What are the orange and blue trend lines? (over what time periods?) Thanks.
Blue is the mean and orange is the trend since 1979.
It must be odd to have a job in the Climate Industrial Complex, where you could be fired for telling the truth. No wonder everyone like Walt is silent lately. The facts are too obvious to lie in public, so they are constrained to saying nothing.
I don’t see Gavin spending a lot of time responding to your tweets either.
I’ve got to believe there are still some honest folks left, and if so, there is a backlash building and that there is a Snowden somewhere in government controlled Big Climate.
I concur with your observation. There must be many Warmist scientists wondering in their minds only about the Arctic uptick in September, Antarctica sea ice extent records in recent years, the global surface temperature standstill, the failure of the IPCC temp projections, the big return of snow and cold to the Northern hemisphere in winter etc. They are really worried but won’t admit it. If warming fails to resume this decade then they really are in big trouble. They already are actually. 🙂
Getting stuck in Antarctic ice in the summer, now there’s some Climate Reality for ya. Tampering with the historical record is one thing, actually going to Antarctica is something else.
Now the Chinese icebreaker is being reported as stuck in the ice. But don’t worry, the French will save them.
The Chinese (Ukranian built) icebreaker is turning back. It can’t make forward progress toward the stranded ship because the ice is too thick. Not to worry, the southern ice should reach its minimum in a month and a half or so.

Time for an update. 12/28/13 is a new record high Antarctic Sea Ice Anomaly for the date, moving ahead of 2007 as Steve has been predicting.
is the ice frozen sea water, or frozen fresh water (which, of course, freezes at a higher temperature)?
Sea ice starts out as salt water. As it gets older it turns to fresh water.
It is summer time down here in the southern hemisphere. The Antarctic sea ice is supposed to be at its minimum NOW. It is only going to increase from now on as the season cools. How does this fit into the global warming theories of all the northern hemisphere scientists. And who’s bright idea was it drive a boat into the sea ice? If satellites and GPS can’t show the extent of the ice then where are the global warming nutters getting their information from? Or are they just making it up as they go along? It seems that way to me sometimes.
