Alarmists seem to have difficulty understanding that ice only melts at temperatures above its freezing point.

Impressively following 2013

despite solar max.
That would be an average of temperature, so if half the region was colder than average and the other warmer than average, you’d still get melt.
Also half the day, with day warmer and night colder. So you’d also get freezing. Plus the regions where it is warmer or cooler shift, so areas that have net melting one day get net freezing the next.
Will Nitschke, you’d get just as much ice formation as melting if its an average at the freezing point.
And sea ice melts about 270 to 272 K so actually it is above melting point at the moment

At the end of winter, there is almost no salt in sea ice, and its mostly fresh water ice. It’s well known that the salt brine percolates through it back into the sea.

Yes, the temperature is above 273 K
Q.How much melting of thick sea ice happens at 1 or 2 degrees C?
A: Almost none.
Andy,
As usual you have no idea what you are talking about.
So how much melt will happen at +2 C? I doubt if much at all.
