One week ago, our top government funded experts announced that the Barents Sea is hot and the ice was melting to record low levels.
Only a complete moron could believe that the Arctic is seeing record low levels of ice in December, and over the last 12 days ice in the Barents Sea has expanded 1,000 miles towards Svalbard. It isn’t clear to me how ice grows 300 feet per minute while it is “shrinking in record heat.”
Arctic sea ice extent is essentially identical to January 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Minimum ice extent has been growing for a decade.

Yesterday, a leading Kiwi expert described the rapidly growing sea ice as “vanishing.”
NZ scientist alarmed at vanishing sea ice – Environment – NZ Herald News
In 1922 (one of NASA’s coldest years on record) glaciers were rapidly disappearing in the Arctic and ice never formed near Svalbard all winter.

Everything you hear from government climate clowns and their useful idiots in the press is fake news.
Now they will shift the topic to ice thickness, and MYI. The theory that predicts everything always wins.
Ice thickness is the same as 1940 and 1958
Yes, and the theory that predicts everyting, predicted this.
“It isn’t clear to me how ice grows 300 feet per minute while it is “shrinking in record heat.”
It is WITCHCRAFT! Witchcraft I say!
There be witches up in the Arctic and they are disguising themselves as Poley Bears so we think the Poley Bear population is increasing!

It is encouraging that American scientists are paying attention to this very large Progressive constituency and are ready to fix the Arctic:
The alternative is geothermal harvesting of the Arctic heat to produce electricity and run refrigerators to freeze the water. I hope that Progressive scientists at the University of Colorado-Boulder are working on such competing designs so we will not lose to Arizona State when Progressive governments decide to pull the trigger on the $50B expenditure and fix the Arctic.
I am certain that America’s Progressive sportsmen will support the new plan to fix the Arctic because it’s the right thing to do.
Correcting a minor typo: It takes $500B to fix the Arctic, not $50B.
I just wonder how they assume wind turbines will work in the Arctic. It’s as if they have no idea of the temperatures there, aside from their programmed climate models.
Don’t worry, They’ll be suggesting solar power in the Arctic soon. Especially effective during winter. ;-)
More and more I find myself distrusting the charts put up on the sea ice page on WUWT. Not that WUWT is at fault here, but that the agencies putting out the charts seem to be messing with the data. And of course, there is the DMI temperature chart based on modeling, there being almost know way to accurately measure what is going on above 80 degrees north.
Anybody that is telling me the Arctic ice is currently melting is automatically branded a left-wing loon or a liar.
We have eight years of in your face lies from the US government and one hundred years of in your face lies from the MSM. Why ever would we trust ANYTHING connected to the US government or the MSM?
We need to see the real effect of a heavy duty El Nino on this. But there are no historical data.
The “icebergs are gone” stories out of the 1920’s had to be related to the 1918 El Nino.
I am sick of these apoplectic “Arctic Ice Gone” stories
“windmills in the Arctic” ? Really? I am afraid to see that the link might be real. I have to go back outside and shovel some of that hot white stuff all over my driveway. It can’t be cold, someone on yahoo says it is hot.
It’s real annie. Here is a link to the peer-reviewed study in question you can read when you’ve finished shovelling that non-existent white stuff outside;

The polar bears will love it and National Geographic will run a whole series on it. I just know it!
And the Russians are in. They are itching to cool the Arctic Ocean and Siberia that’s been unbearably hot. They are running out of ice and always wanted to build bigger icebreakers. Ура!
