Multi-year Arctic Sea Ice Extent At Ten Year High

Eight years ago, government climate fraudsters announced that Arctic multi-year sea ice was gone.

Now they say it is vanishing. It isn’t clear how something which was gone eight years ago is now vanishing.

The extent of multi-year sea ice is actually at a ten year high.

You can reproduce this using this script, which assumes that white pixels have a red value greater than 240/255.
