According to climate experts and the fake news press, the Arctic is record hot, and is rapidly melting.
Actual data shows that their claims are fraudulent. There has been no trend in Arctic sea ice extent since the start of MASIE records in 2006. The graph below shows the trend line in red from the 2006 peak to the 2018 peak.

Sea ice volume is nearly identical to ten years ago (23,000 km³) and thick ice covers much more of the Arctic than it did ten years ago.

Temperatures in the Arctic are very cold, and the cold Arctic air is spilling down into the Eastern US, where we are having a record cold start to spring.
As far as I can tell, every claim made by climate alarmists is completely fraudulent.
