A few days ago, NSIDC rushed this flagrantly misleading piece of propaganda out to the press, who immediately parroted it to the world
Arctic Sea Ice News and Analysis | Sea ice data updated daily with one-day lag
The press in turn did their usual trick, and made the story into a big propaganda lie – saying the ice was “shrinking” at -30C.
If the experts at NSIDC actually paid attention to what was going on in the Arctic, they would have known that ice is growing rapidly and is past 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2011 levels – and headed towards the middle of the pack for the last decade.
This is how the big lie works. There will be no correction in the press – there never is.
I should think the Danish scientists who monitor this would want to set the record straight.The NSIDC claim challenges their findings. Then again, maybe they have ulterior motives too.
This happens all the time.
Much publicity to a (usually premature) announcement which supports “climate change”, but no publicity to subsequent corrections.
It’s one of the ways that “climate change” propaganda works.
Except it is still nonstop winter here in New York and the snow which fell at the end of January is still covering most of the ground. It was near zero yesterday.
They can’t hide this deep cold that has gone on and on and on. This is what is turning people off of the ‘we are roasting to death’ storylines.
One of my old friends just sent me this article late last night, he wanted a good debunking for his alarmist coworkers…

I gave him the goods, and then saw Watts piece this AM. Mann desperately wants to be taken seriously again.
After the big lie, comes the big stick: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/20150322_FEMA_to_deny_funds_to_warming_deniers.html#rKxCUFk8wkrgm8vi.99
Too bad the cold winter nuked the banana trees on the laughingstock-in-chief’s lawn.
And definitely don’t use cash
But as investor and financial blogger Simon Black points out, last week, “A senior official from the Justice Department spoke to a group of bankers about the need for them to rat out their customers to the police.”
Assistant attorney general Leslie Caldwell gave a speech in which he urged banks to “alert law enforcement authorities about the problem” so that police can “seize the funds” or at least “initiate an investigation”.
As Black highlights, according to the handbook for the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council, such suspicious activity includes, “Transactions conducted or attempted by, at, or through the bank (or an affiliate) and aggregating $5,000 or more…”

Even your chart shows just 3 years having less ice…
So, what would you like NSIDC to correct?
Philippe:
Uhhh… in the English language, “lowest” is a superlative. The NSIDC statement means no other year had a lower maximum. You have just stated that there are 3 years having less ice.
I believe that the difference between the NSIDC statement and your statement is what he would like to see corrected.
