With temperatures of -30C and Arctic sea ice nearing its winter maximum, government climate scientists and their useful idiots in the press announce that Arctic sea ice is “near an all time low.”
In the actual Arctic, sea ice extent is increasing, more than double six months ago, and essentially identical to all recent years.

Arctic sea ice volume is increasing at what is possibly a record rate for March, and is up nearly 500% over six months ago.

The ice edge is very close to the 1981-2010 mean, everywhere except the Bering Sea where southerly winds last week pushed the ice edge back.
Most people with an IQ higher than a turnip understand that water freezes at temperatures of -30C, This apparently excludes climate scientists and journalists.
With the entire country of Canada locked in an Arctic deep freeze, one would think that Canadian journalists would be able to figure out that the Arctic is very cold and the ice is not melting. But no indication of that to date.

Cue Grifftard / turnip head to come and explain how the ice is melting at – 30C and it is worse than we thought ;-)
Only the most brain dead and gullible don’t realize they have experienced and are still experiencing one of the coldest winters in recent memory. My deck is under 1/2 a metre of snow and the snow banks lining my laneway are chest high … last year on the Easter weekend folks were golfing in Calgary and this morning it is -17C! (although easter is earlier this year).
The “record” being discussed is the satellite record, not the 1920s or 1930’s or know periods of the last several millennia when much less ice was known.
And, as discussed numerous times on this site, the “record” used starts in 1979 at a convenient recent maximum for that period. Less convenient is the low ice recorded in the early 70’s. In fact, the maximum extent in 1974 (14.4 x 10E6 km2) was lower than the present.
The extent from 1974 is from page 14,502 of Parkinson and Cavalieri: Arctic Sea Ice, 1973-1987.
Every new year the arctic reaches a new all time low
while global temperatures and sea level rise reach a record high.
This “reality” is fundamental part of the official daily global warming prayer
and the 2nd commandement of the AGW=one should preach AGW into existence.
(the first one is:there is no climate but warming)
There is no climate but Warming, and Algore—peace be upon him—is Warming’s messenger.
He developed the Algore-rhythm of warming.
No matter how you turn or use it:
The result will always be hockeystick+red ink=AGW.
Thanks to this formula he went from “not even a millionaire” to 200 million++.
The Clintons are as rich-
and both never ever were entrepeneurs or did some business and still became superrich.
Maybe it has something to do with both of them appearing at the Bilderberger meeting in 1991 when they were told by their masters that they’ll become the next US(vize)-presidents.
-18C at my house this AM….and 6 cm of new snow, on top of a whole pile that still exists….last year…I was putting some flower seeds into the garden beds…over 2 feet of snow still all around here….and the forecast for April around here doesn’t look like we are going to get out of winter for a while!
Is there any other data before 1980 that I can use that can demonstrate the variable rise and fall of sea ice volume anomaly other than this one?

Here is the article that I mentioned above. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1029/JC094iC10p14499
Thank you, just might purchase the pdf for my own records.

I owe you another thanks, that was great

To get an idea of the REAL position of Arctic sea ice, you need to realise that the late 1970s was an EXTREME ANOMALY, up there with the Little Ice Age

There are MANY studies that show that Arctic sea ice is actually in the top 19% of extents for the Holocene.
Here are two charts from opposite sides of the Arctic

The most recent pre-1979 reconstructions also show the 1940’s at a similar level to now.. which matches in-adjusted temperature records well

To seek REALTY of the actual situation of Arctic sea ice, you need to look basically anywhere except the AGW hype from the MSM media and the anti-scientists that feed them.
