The Arctic Basin is at the peak of the melt season, but is barely melting. The map below shows changes in ice over the last three days. Green shows increased ice, and red shows decreased ice.
Due to cold air and an Arctic cyclone, it is likely that ice extent in the Chukchi Sea will actually increase over the next few days.
But we all know now that arctic cyclones during the summer never used to occur and are a sure sign of global climate warming disruptions.
Something is rotten ice in Denmark, Horacio.
This has potential to be devastating for alarmists. The melting, collapsing, catastrophically vanishing Arctic was their canary in the coal mine. It was the front line of climate change. It was irreversible. It was climate Armageddon made real.
Imagine the place packed solid with multi-year ice. They can fiddle the data but they can’t hide an ocean of ice.
Please, Lord, make it happen.
Yes, they can. Their ideological allies hid the ????????? just fine.
“Please, Lord, make it happen.”
Amen! 🙂

If it is inconsistent with ones religious system, then the truth is ignored.
Still some ice in the Kara Sea. In August 1942 the German navy sailed into the Kara Sea. The mission was to attack the Russian convoys moving from the Pacific to Murmansk. So there was no ice (or very little) in the Kara Sea in August of 1942 and the Russians used the Northeast route already then…
The Germans called the operation, Unternehmen Wunderland
Further to your point.
At this point (day 194) 45% of NH ice extent has melted.
Here are the Regions to watch:
Central Arctic still has 98.6% of its ice
East Siberian Sea 90%
Kara Sea 70%
Beaufort Sea 79%
Canadian Archipelago 85%
Why these regions?
The Northwest Passage (NWP) goes through Baffin Bay, Canadian Archipelago, Beaufort Sea, Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea. The Northern Sea Route (NSR) used by Russia goes through Barents Sea, Kara Sea, Laptev Sea, Eastern Siberian Sea, to Chukchi Sea, Bering Sea.
“During early September 2013 the Russian battlecruiser Petr Velikiy led a flotilla of Russian navy ships through the Russian portion of the Northern Sea Route in preparation for establishing regular patrols. About 400 ships are expected to transit the Russian portion of the route during the 2013 season, up from about 40 during 2012.”

In actual fact, with the unexpected ice recovery, only 71 ships crossed the Northern Sea Route in 2013. The NWP did not open at all because of the iced Archipelago.
There must be a climate model out there somewhere that predicted no summer melting of Arctic ice.
If there isn’t one now, I’m sure there soon will be!
I think your meta model about models is as good as they get!
