The area of sea ice on Earth has increased 700,000 km² over the past decade. This is the exact opposite of both expert forecasts, and current claims made by experts – who lack in both competence and honesty.

Reblogged this on Climatism.
But we don’t know the meaning of this amount of ice unless you tell us how many Manhattans it is.
That would be about 8003.66 Manhattans…the island, not the drink.
Or about 1 Texas, 3.05 Great Britains or 1.39 Spains…
Now, assuming that it’s only an inch thick, that would be over 200 TRILLION Manhattans, the drink, at 5 1″ x 1″ cubes, per glass…

Thanks. We can compare this to the Greenland ice berg that broke off in 2012, which was 2 Manhattans. (Widely reported at the time in those terms.)
They predicted all along that sea ice would increase due to warming. It’s because of the thermohalocline.
Which of course is why the Gorical was screaming about an Ice free Arctic

and rising sea levels.

Thanks to “climate4you.com” I can even give some graphics:

I followed your data link
http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/timeseries.global.anom.1979-2008
and it works out that Global Sea Ice hasn’t declined since 10 April 2001
At least that’s what my Excel spreadsheet says (-:
The problem with climate science today is that you can not separate the politics from the science. They are one and the same now, and any study that permits them to advance the global warming political narrative is sent out as a “major press release”. These press releases are then trumpeted by the sympathetic left wing media, again as a way of advancing the politics. Some scientists are now seeing this as a BIG mistake on their part, as the doom-and-gloom scenarios, which they happily hyped back in 2000 – 2007, fail to come true. Arctic ice variation is but one of these metrics which has not respond as they anticipated. Likewise for hurricanes, fires, snow cover etc. And now the lay public are discovering they’ve been duped by the climate scientists…
Here is a comment from the lay public
The problem with continually backing a dead horse in a horse race is sooner or later the general public notices the horse is dead. At that point the public concludes you are not a scientist but a snake oil salesman.
Science and Academia is going to have a bit of a problem recovering their reputations and so is the News Media.
Rumours spread, of the death of Arctic sea ice……………..have been greatly exaggerated.
Meanwhile…..over at NSIDC, “aw shucks I guess it’s back to the Ozone thingy!”
Forgive me if this is old news but it appears you have quite the fan base Tony. People certainly can fixate on the strangest things.

It shows Tony is over the target. Otherwise he would be ignored.
People who promote criminal web sites will be banned from this blog.
I was surprised and dismayed how far people will go. My apologies Tony.
Trolls and stalkers want page views and attention.
The Great Lakes are freezing up early too. http://iceweb1.cis.ec.gc.ca/Prod20/page3.xhtml
At this rate, Lake Superior will be frozen completely over before Christmas, which will be unprecedented for earliest freeze over and freezing over 2 years in a row. Lake Superior usually completely freezes over once every 20 years.
New video by NASA that tries to explain the differences in sea ice trends in the Arctic and Antarctic. The comments are not complimentary so far! …. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hauoepPqns4
Both are increasing. Arctic sea ice extent will be very close to “normal” in a week.
The comments are great I hope NASA reads them.

Just more frozen heat we’ll pay the price later on!
