Arctic sea ice extent will be close to, or above the median in about a week. This is because the current deficiency is in the Chukchi Sea – which always freezes rapidly this time of year.

I predict a severe decline in alarmist talk about arctic sea ice extent… evetually.
i see the goal posts moving again 🙂
There is. Neven has accumulated about 15 comments in his blog since the sea-ice minimum. They do not care about sea-ice when it is growing, only when it is melting, because their entire interest in sea-ice is biased toward global warming. They’re not into keeping track of this in the name of science but rather in promoting propaganda.
Tony–Concur. And climate dupes think the planet is warming uncontrollably–or controllable only by curbing burning fossil fuels.
This CryosphereToday animation shows the rapid spread you see as well as broad extent of Siberian snow cover.

I can’t seem to run this video.
No animation here.
But if you are in the mood, here http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/CT/NEWANIM.ARCTIC.3/ are all the .png and .jpg files from 18-Jul-2008 to 27-Oct-2014 (there’s an odd 22-Mar-2012 file) stills images to make a hi-res animation of your own.
Unfortunately, that site can’t get past JAVA security on my iMac for some reason. I can’t seem to make Safari trust the site. Very weird.
Sorry for the stubborn link. It is indeed slow to load for me on my 2008 MacBook with Safari 5.1.10.
Regardless, the link is to Cryosphere Today and the 30-day Arctic animation under the large image of the north pole. Try this: http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/
Thanks. It works fine. It also loads slow on my 2014 iMac, so it has everything to do with the site and not your notebook.
When will we see the Nimbus satellite data? Walt Meier (NSIC) has seen it and commented that the sixties and early seventies average 6.9 million sq km in September . You are apparently right about the fraudsters using 1979 as the beginning of the sea ice record to push a political agenda.
So all this freezing should produce a mild winter right? Because according to climastrologists, melting ice causes extreme cold winters.
Exactly, dg, exactly
The gray curve is the mean, not the median.
How can it be the mean temperature when it arbitrarily cuts off at 2000?
As the text says, it simply is the mean for 1979-2000. That is OK and what everybody does in meteorology. Of course one can cheery pick by selecting another interval
My remark says that “mean” and “median” are not the same thing. Example:
{1,2,3,4,10}, median=3, mean=4
t not this year.

But not this year.
