What is “extremely ordinary”
Excellent question! What scale are they using? “Ordinary,” “Very Ordinary,” and “Extremely Ordinary?” But, after listening to the alarmists the past few years, would not plain “Ordinary” be front page news? (Sorry, I forgot we are talking about the Arctic, a prime poster child for the “sky is falling” groups.)
And doesn’t the first line say “fairly ordinary?” Who reports science (or geography) like this, anyway?
So, the polar bears are no longer going to die due to lack of global warming explorers coming north to view the open seas?
Polar bears to be well fed on remains of global warming explorers after their ships are crushed in sea ice.
Thank you for the info on sea ice. I’ve been annoying the hell out of greenblobbyists for a few days by rubbing their faces in this and are they squealing!
Awesome.
“I need more power Scotty!”
“I cann’t givver any more Cap’n.. She’ll blow!”
This is exactly what they expected and it’s worse than they thought.
And if normal continues we are all going to roast to death in the future! 🙂
Extremely un-ordinary Lake Superior ice data.. http://iceweb1.cis.ec.gc.ca/Prod20/page3.xhtml
If this trend continues, Lake Superior will freeze over again making it 2 years in a row, which would be unprecedented.
Don’t forget about Antarctica melting. They say it is loosing about 83 gigatons of ice per year.
It has about 29 toalal gigatons of ice. So their very careful measurement show it is loosing
.0003% per year. No doubt about it!
They have very precise instruments. One authoritative internet site says the land ice has an average thickness of 6500 feet, another says its’ 7000 feet. (they don’t have that exact figure I guess)
Yet, .0003% of 6500 ft is .02 feet or about a quarter of an inch. So the Antarctic loosing 83 gigatons of ice means they are somehow measuring an average loss of a quarter of an inch over 4.5 million square miles??? How do they do that?
MAGIC!
It goes along with the magical green house gas.

Ha ha! Love it!
The gas = CO2 and the solids = carbon so I figure it is the best illustration.
They are experts. With degrees and certifications and peer reviewed papers. Oh and government funding. Who are you to question them? It’s science, are you some kind of flat earth creationist?
That’s how they do it. It’s a social trick.
Yes, indeed! WMO’s warmest year is now in competition with EPA’s dangerous air pollutant and FDA’s GRAS:

Carbon dioxide (CO2) – the gas that plants use as fuel to grow food like tomatoes and corn – is now classified by EPA as a dangerous air pollutant.
Ethylene (C2H4) – the gas used to make green tomatoes turn red before maturity and make consumers think they are ripe, nutritious food – is now classified by the FDA as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe):

SUCH IS LIFE IN ORWELL’s 1984: True Fiction and Phony Facts
Ethylene looks quite combustible in the presence of O2.
A good clean fuel for heating my house.
oops that is losing 83 gigatons out of a total 29 MILLION total gigatons, that’s how you get the .0003%.
Your right! When you calculate the loss rate it comes out to 300,000 years for the entire Antarctic to melt down. That means that they can measure the loss every year to 1 count in 300,000. My best force transducers can measure to 1 count in 1000. You said it… How do they do that?
Top of the list video on youtube for a “global warming” word search…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcVwLrAavyA …… Tom Brokaw is quite entertaining at 2x normal speed.
Amazing ordinariness up Arctic way – certainly no death spiral in sight!
It’s a propoganda campaign that would make Heir Groebels proud.
Tell a lie enough times and it becomes the truth, at least to the unquestioning masses.
It will eventually fall away but only after much damage has been done.

I read through the NSIDC info. I would guess they are accurate, but they do their best to bias the info in an alarmist fashion.
