   This site looks interesting:

   I’m still digesting what it all means, however I’m guessing that alarmists see only the red line in the lowest graph.

     We note that sublimation has been included with melting (very conveniently); the sublimation is most influenced by RH and direct normal insolation, indicative of fewer clouds, and that is about it.

   But I thought the Arctic looked like this!

   Common Core math. – 33 x -27 = positief a lot like Venus

   Uh, does the cold have something to do with the altitude?

     Not in our brave new world where only catastrophic warming exists. Although I do admire your courage for using the ‘c’ word.

     SSSHHHhhhhh

     If you mention altitude (atmospheric pressure) and the word temperature, then you are opening the door to the fact that the high temperature on Venus is due to the Adiabatic Lapse Rate and all of that PV =nRT stuff.

       Somebody needs to build a pair of identical greenhouses. Fill one with air and the other with pure CO2 at atmospheric pressure. Make it 100% pure, not even any water vapor.

       See which one gets hotter.

         Why is it ppl continually bring up this ‘greenhouse’ analogy? It is not particularly applicable … better to think of the classic Yagi-Uda (Hidetsugu Yagi and Shintaro Uda) array and contemplate adding or removing the reflector element …

         We bring up greenhouses (real) because we like to yank the chain on the junkyard dogs of CAGW.

         ….Plant photosynthetic activity can reduce the CO2 within the plant canopy to between 200 and 250 ppm… I observed a 50 ppm drop in within a tomato plant canopy just a few minutes after direct sunlight at dawn entered a green house (Harper et al 1979) … photosynthesis can be halted when CO2 concentration aproaches 200 ppm… (Morgan 2003) Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and does not easily mix into the greenhouse atmosphere by diffusion… http://books.google.com/books?id=eEy9ftsCqtoC&pg=PA63&lpg=PA63&dq=co2+depletion+canopy+photosynthesis&source=bl&ots=dq3VDah8tK&sig=4EHJKS5C03VfrI8ZrUGiz4mg_AI&hl=en&ei=bK8KTKfNBoGdlgf64_isDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CCIQ6AEwAzgU#v=onepage&q=co2%20depletion%20canopy%20photosynthesis&f=false“>SOURCE

         The ENTIRE CAGW hoax is built on the ASSumption that CO2 is well mixed in the atmospher. It is not. Therefore the excuse used to toss out all the high readings from historic wet chemistry data and from pre-1985 Ice Core data (using ALL the sample including the ice not just the air bubbles that formed on decompression) is invalidated.

     Most of the surface of the Greenland ice sheet is at high altitude, because it is two miles thick.

       And with all that new snow from this winter, reflective aka high albedo.
