You’re quite correct on all your points. I would add that in polar regions with an ocean salinity of 35 ppt, the sea ice begins to melt as temps rise above -1.8 degrees Celsius (28.8 degrees Fahrenheit).
Sea ice is mostly fresh water, so it melts near zero as any water, but forms only when the sea is colder than that.
Moonbat tried to make news of ‘hot Arctic’ when I’m shivering in, legs extended towards the fireplace. It’s about -15C out, and that was because the main blast of cold dry air is heading tiwards the British Isles. Good timing, eh? This is a bad joke, but I think the global warming is missing two parts. The warming part and the global part. What’s left is some dubiously spinned statistics from the psychology department of UWA. Good luck, Bristol.
After a VERY short search I find:
More precise measurements show West Antarctica ice melt accelerating
Google said 33 minutes ago.
Antarctica is below freezing nearly everywhere nearly all of the time. But you would never know that reading the insane headlines from the so-called popular press. I’ll have to see if Phys Org where the story comes from has a comment section.
With a name like “Phys Org” one would think that they know what the freezing point of water is.

Ross ice shelf profile.
Fuck I’m gonna this research the full face value it deserves. (Sorry Tony if you mind the four letter words. Rather words than violence, though)
*give*. give this research the value…

On February 25, 2028 it was 1.1 C near the North Pole.
Also there is a weather station only 440 miles from the North Pole that reached 43F.
Well, then. I think we have 10 years to prepare for that.
scribbler needs a new set of crayons….
… he has chewed all the other lead-based ones.
“On February 25, 2028 it was 1.1 C near the North Pole.”
“Also… a weather station only 440 miles from the North Pole… reached 43F.
Yes Jeff, and it also snowed in Rome:
https://apnews.com/738d732649de4894b19a478c434941a1
That’s called weather.
1976 had a similar spike in DMI data.
Must have been from SUV’s I guess. !!
Nothing to do with a jet stream wobble. ;-)
Well-during the ice age scare the freezing point of water was +10C degrees.
Therefore nothing wrong here :)
The north pole ice cap melt season runs from mid-March to mid-September. Yes air temperatures are only above freezing for 90 days, but the ice melts from below and at its edges from contact with relatively warm sea water. Steve G replied about melting at the north pole itself, whereas the Monbiot comment was about the extent of the ice cap.
The Monbiot graph was North Pole temperatures.
The Arctic has been ‘rapidly’ melting for so many years – according to warmist propaganda headlines – you start to wonder if ‘rapid’ has another meaning that’s nothing to do with quick, speedy… etc.
It is the new rapid, which is ‘any time now’, as in the ‘the end is nigh’.
The question is does IPCC forecast a winter melt for the Arctic sea in any scenario? Even RCP 8.5 after year 2500? It is so freaking premature to mess about melting Arctic when there millions of square kilometers of ice every September.
By the way, if the North Atlantic current weakens, isn’t it the obvious result that Spitzbergen freeze (well more than now!) and the pole gets colder and more stable? So oscillation of the sea will have a large effect on polar warming?
Methinks it’s a differently-abled spelling of “rabidly.” I’ve followed anti-energy fanaticism since Cohen’s 1977 article on Radioactive Wastes (harmless compared to every other source of reliable power), and ‘rabidly’ describes every aspect of the unfree exercise of the Altrurian Econazi faith.
There is always a crisis somewhere when you’re a liberal.
And there is always some Superliberal to save you!
(in exchange for your money,rights or both)
We should lobby Merriam-Webster to have 2 entries in their dictionaries:
Liberal and “Liberal”
It would clarify a lot of things if it became standard usage.
You are right-the original meaning of liberal was somthing completely different,just as the original anarchists.
The hypothesis of Catastrophic Antropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) require, that both poles heat up considerably, as that is where (global) climatic changes have the most impact.
The temperature anomaly for Antarctic is -0.7 °C.
Ergo, there is no CAGW.
Why is that positive news not headline news in every paper?

You see some dangerous local weather there. Are you sure it is not climate change, dressing as local warming and cooling? /sarc /doihavetosarc?
Moonbat would like us all to forget that in 2005 he was predicting the end of cold snowy winters in the UK.
It is now mid-February, and already I have sown eleven species of vegetable. I know, though the seed packets tell me otherwise, that they will flourish. Everything in this country – daffodils, primroses, almond trees, bumblebees, nesting birds – is a month ahead of schedule. And it feels wonderful. Winter is no longer the great grey longing of my childhood. The freezes this country suffered in 1982 and 1963 are – unless the Gulf Stream stops – unlikely to recur. Our summers will be long and warm. Across most of the upper northern hemisphere, climate change, so far, has been kind to us/

Good luck planting seeds for spring veggies in the UK this February!
I deeply despise this smug, gloating, pretentious, worm-tongued partisan know-it-all who actually possesses very little in the way of factual knowledge. I’ll never forgive him for his savage attack on David Bellamy. And I look forward to the day when both Moonbat and that dreadful rag he scribbles for—The Libtardian—are financially bankrupt, laughed at by their former audience, and unable to continue churning out their vile intellectual and spiritual pollution.
Last winter “extent” was up so they focused on “volume”. But now “volume” is up so the focus is on “extent”.
Actually it a very interesting pattern. I just wish Alarmists would stop making such a foolish racket. They make it hard to concentrate on the new and interesting developments, likely brought about by the “quiet sun”.
Besides the cold in Europe the Alarmist fail to mention the south winds have compressed the ice at the Pole. NRL maps show it is thicker than last year.

George Moonbot is clinging to his religious beliefs even as the whole ‘Global Warming’ Ship sinks beneath him, into icy Arctic waters. He can busy himself shovelling snow.
