    Yep. 2006 is toast, no longer will people suggest 2011 will ape that year come the final summation.

    Even over 2010, 2011 has given far more 100k+ ice loss days in July than 2010 already.

    This will be the fastest date to sub 8 million extent on the JAXA record it seems ..

      I agree on most points…2011 already has more 100K+ melt days (according to JAXA) than 2006 did the entire summer, so I expect it will quickly diverge from the 2006 extent from here on. I also expect this year’s minimum will fall below 2008, 2009, and 2010 based on the same metric. Right now the distribution of 100K+ melt days closely mirrors the pattern of 20 such days we had in 2007, with 9 so far. However, I agree with others here that winds will play a significant role in the upcoming six weeks, and cannot yet say with confidence whether or not the 2011 minimum will fall below the 2007 record minimum.

    • Enough BS. Are you betting on a record low, or not?

    The real interest is what is happening down south though at the moment, for once the Antarctic has not put on a spurt from the time of summer minima like it has done for the past few years. Global ice coverage on Cryosphere is looking really sick becaus of that.

    You know what? It’s all pointless. Look at the Mississippi river levels.

    IF WE HAD A RECORD HIGH EXTENSION OF ARCTIC SEA ICE, THAT WOULD BE BLAMED ON ANTHROPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING TOO!!!!!

    And if the extension were average? Then they’d say, there would be much more ice were it not for AGW. End of the story.
