The bounce back in the extent of sea ice in the Arctic this summer was reflected also in the volume of ice.
Data from Europe’s Cryosat spacecraft suggests there were almost 9,000 cu km of ice at the end of this year’s melt season.
This is close to 50% more than in the corresponding period in 2012.

Steven,
The BBC is paying the price for joining forces with 68 years of government deception intended to save the world from possible nuclear annihilation by hiding the source of energy in cores of heavy atoms, some planets, ordinary stars and galaxies.
But the struggle to reveal the Sun’s pulsar core has succeeded, despite decisions by frightened world leaders in 1945 to:
1. Form the United Nations on 24 October 1945
2. Hide neutron-repulsion in cores of atoms & stars
The Sun’s pulsar core is the
1. Creator of every atom, and the
2. Sustainer of every life in the solar system.
Chapter 1 of my autobiography described the start of my research on meeting Professor Kuroda in May 1960.

Chapter 2 used precise experimental data to provide clear and unequivocal evidence:
1. Neutron-repulsion is the source of energy in cores of heavy atoms and stars
2. The Sun made our elements, birthed the solar system and sustains our lives,
3. Iron-56 is the most abundant and most stable atom in the Sun and the Earth
Chapter 2 compares solar and nuclear science before and after the Second World War:
1. Astronomers and astrophysicists believed the interior of the Sun was mostly iron (Fe) before the end of the Second World War, but after the Second World War ended they unanimously changed their opinions without discussion or debate in 1946 to conclude the Sun’s interior is mostly hydrogen (H).
2. Scientific textbooks used F. W. Aston’s rigorously valid “nuclear packing fraction” to indicate nuclear stability before the end of the Second World War, but after the Second World War ended most textbooks replaced Aston’s “nuclear packing fraction” with C. F. von Weizsäcker’s deceptively convincing “nuclear binding energy.” The latter obscures neutron-repulsion with high values for the binding energy of neutron-rich atoms and low values for the binding energy of proton-rich atoms.

The New Year brings these formidable challenges. How can we:
1. Retain social advantages from the decision to form the United Nations?
2. Restore integrity to government science and constitutional governments?
Thanks for your efforts in this regard.
Best wishes for the Holidays and the New Year,

If this were my blog I would ban you: you are verbose, repetitive, off topic and self-promoting.
I regret that you consider me “verbose, repetitive, off topic and self-promoting.”
Is there another way to get you to address experimental data?
And insane
Come on. Address the data.
Nice to see a reasonable piece of science reporting.
The article makes clear that the volume is ‘at the end of the melting season’, so we are tracking minima year to year.
Minimum sea ice extent in September 2013 exceeded the record low of 2012, but was the 6th lowest since observations began in 1979 despite the relatively cool summer of 2013.

Global sea ice area is the third highest on record.
The Arctic ice at the peak of the winter has been nearly *at the average* almost every year, since 2008, even in 2012. The only exception is 2011, the year when solar radiations were at their peak in the present cycle.
A warm Arctic could not produce the observed ice extent, repeatedly and consistently during the winter, for 5 years in a row.
It’s very easy to tell lies using statistics.
E.g, when a heating pot of water reaches the boiling point it stops warming up, but if you consider the “statistical trend”, including the period before the boiling point was reached, it would tell you that the trend for warmer temperatures continued, despite the fact that it is physically impossible!
The second aspect of the hoax is that people “believe” what they want, despite the fact that reality is not defined by our beliefs.
Satellite observations began before 1979, parrot.
If 6th lowest Arctic indicates global warming, doesn’t the Antarctic’s recent highest ever records indicate more cooling than warming? Is it reasonable to point out a smaller Arctic ice without also pointing out a consistently growing Antarctic?
If Arctic ice suddenly recovered to 1979 levels, I would suggest there would be an awful lot of worried people.
Be careful what you wish for.
If they were concerned about Nature, they’d be here with us *celebrating*.
They could not care *less* about the sea ice extent and the climate, that’s their true face.

I wrote my previous post before reading this comment, how obvious these people are.
OT, 8th spot on climate blog rankings. Nice one. The list makes an utter mockery of the 97% consensus BS. http://scottishsceptic.wordpress.com/2013/12/15/ranking-of-climate-blogs-dec-2013/#more-2536
Hey guys!
I’m number 20.
🙂
The report goes on to quote “a scientist” who says it’s not important, ut’s just one year. Funny that, how one year of record Ice growth is not the same as one year of record minimum.
Seen this???

Heh. Because, what direction was it going to move? It’s the North Pole.
“Lead researcher Jianli Chen said that ‘ice melting and sea level change can explain 90 per cent of the shift’ and that ‘the driving force for the sudden change is climate change.”
Check please! 😆
Is there anything that the miracle molecule can’t do 😉
“Climate change is causing climate change.”
It doesn’t get any more vacuous than that……
One has to wonder if these people actually listen to themselves. Most likely not.
