Arctic sea ice volume is highest in the last eleven years and fifth highest in the last fifteen years.
The thirty day melt rate is the second lowest on record, down 50% from ten years ago. It would take more than one year of continuous summer to melt all the ice at the current rate.

Isn’t this Griff’s shining season in the warmer months? “Here’s Pat” must have gone on a pilgrimage to some liberal mecca like Montreal to receive absolution for living in Trump’s America…..
I have indeed been on holiday.
The ice extent is showing interesting signs of break up, I find, on my return…
Interesting signs of break up, also know as summer……
As usual Griff doesn’t pay attention:
“Arctic sea ice volume is highest in the last eleven years and fifth highest in the last fifteen years.”
To which you have yet to address in the thread.
Snicker…………………..
By the DMI measure.
which considering the extent is at second lowest for this time of year is – how can we put it? – surprising
Only “surprising” to a simpleton which cannot understand that older, thicker, and more concentrated ice is much more durable at the core than 1 year old ice on the periphery.
Griff,
“Arctic sea ice volume is highest in the last eleven years and fifth highest in the last fifteen years.”

“showing interesting signs of break up,”
Griff’s mind is well passed that stage. !!
Death takes a holiday!
Since when is a democratic a good party prophet ? Btw where is the tough time party ?
Greenland melt is on in the South and pushing melt above normal…meanwhile overall Greenland continues to accumulate net ice mass which for the year is almost 50Gt above normal.
How long before we see the stories about Greenland melt that ignore the rest? We should have a pool.

Then there’s this…

I don’t think early June is a good data point to judge the volume ice loss over the summer, it is too early. The main melt is from now up to August.
Using the DMI volume data
http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/icethickness/txt/IceVol.txt
I did two quick and dirty graphs to show initial ice volume at June 1st from 2003 to 2017 ( top) and also total ice volume reduction from June 1st to August 1st (bottom)

I don’t see much of a correlation for it to be able to give a good estimate for the volume at the end of the melt season.
As I mentioned in another blog post the increased thickness of ice on the Siberian side may well reduce the volume loss this year as that side in the past has shown the most loss when weather and conditions are right

Will be interesting to watch how it does, but predictions for the melt season using the current amount of volume or extent up to now, does not normally follow.

Time is running out on the global warming scam.
Tony – love the site – your work has had an impact. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-06-05/berkeley-scholar-admits-climate-change-has-run-its-course
Good work!
Andy, Polar Bears are nearly finished with their annual gorge, which indicate that summer ice levels is not that important to them.
Warmists needs to stop making stupid claims.
Less and less loss over the last 15 years, little-andy.
Let’s see if you can admit reality. ie TELL THE TRUTH.
In your next post, explain to everyone that the current Arctic sea ice levels are above what they have been for 90% of the Holocene.
Tell them that current levels are anomalously HIGH and that we should be concerned that the recovery from the 1979s extremes seems to have stopped.
yes, quite right…
It was only (just) after this point that 2007 and 2012 started their real decline – and note at present extent is way below either of those years
Deliberately REFUSING TO TELL THE TRUTH.
You are a sad, LYING little cretin, griff.
Note also that extent is low now, but I still would not use that as a guide to what the extent will be at the summer minimum due to same reasons.
Andy
WSJ is claiming the “science is settled” and the climate scam has run it’s course! Yay truth! https://www.wsj.com/articles/climate-change-has-run-its-course-1528152876?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=2
Thanks for linking that, Misanthropic! My WSJ now rots on the driveway b/c they are typically so anti-MAGA I can’t stand reading it.
Here’s a pull-quote:
“A good indicator of why climate change as an issue is over can be found early in the text of the Paris Agreement. The “nonbinding” pact declares that climate action must include concern for “gender equality, empowerment of women, and intergenerational equity” as well as “the importance for some of the concept of ‘climate justice.’ ” Another is Sarah Myhre’s address at the most recent meeting of the American Geophysical Union, in which she proclaimed that climate change cannot fully be addressed without also grappling with the misogyny and social injustice that have perpetuated the problem for decades.
Another good tidbit: “A case in point is climate campaigners’ push for clean energy, whereas they write off nuclear power because it doesn’t fit their green utopian vision. A new study of climate-related philanthropy by Matthew Nisbet found that of the $556.7 million green-leaning foundations spent from 2011-15, “not a single grant supported work on promoting or reducing the cost of nuclear energy.”
Geez, can’t we either store nuclear waste in that mountain we spent a $buzillion on, or use it as fuel in breeder reactors? Good grief, we have the technology to use it as fuel…
And of course the extent continuing at second lowest in the satellite record means nothing at all, nor the early melt out in the Bering, Barents, etc…
We’ll see: extent massively lower than both 2007/2012 at this stage. June is historically when it all kicks off…
Bering and Berents areas normally melt out every year, thus not a big deal.
Meanwhile you and Andy have yet to show why low sea ice levels is a concern anyway.
Bingo… and Boom!

If that link works you will see the central arctic areas starting a decline… Arctic Basin (Beaufort, Chukchi, ESS, Laptev and CAB) extent is lowest for the date.
WOW, earlier than I thought, hey griff
DMI sea ice volume has just leapfrogged over both 2006 and 2007
There is now more sea ice than EVERY year back to and including 2006. !
Beuufort, really
Why are you LYING yet again, griff??
“extent massively lower than both 2007/2012 at this stage”
Extent MASSIVELY HIGHER than 90% of the Holocene, griff
Come on , I DARE you to admit the truth in a post.
Or remain, as always, a CLIMATE CHANGE DENIER.
And of course the extent continuing at second lowest in the satellite record means nothing at all…
Exactly right!
“extent massively lower than both 2007/2012 at this stage.…”
Wow! What about concentration and volume? Care to share what does your clouded crystal ball see?
concentration is not so hot…
and the volume data ? Look at it compared to 1979
1979? You mean the year that winter and summer that ice extent and volume was the highest ever recorded in the satellite era and probably the highest since the LIA which ended about 1850?
LOL, griff wants to compare to the COLDEST years since 1900 in the Arctic.
Late 1970’s was very much up there with the EXTREME HIGHS of the LIA.
Why do you think that is how the ARctic should be, griff???
Why do you HATE the people trying to live up there so , so much !!
You are an IDIOT, griff !!
And a manic Climate Change Denier.
WOW, earlier than I thought
DMI sea ice volume has just leapfrogged over both 2006 and 2007
There is now more sea ice than EVERY year back to and including 2006. !
