After 35 years of unprecedented melting, global sea ice area is the same as 35 years ago.
Over the past 18 months, global sea ice area has been above normal 70% of the time, and is averaging 3,500 Manhattans above normal.

So far this August, 78% of the US has been below normal temperature, with the central part of the country 6-8 degrees below normal.
During August 1936, almost 100% of the US was above normal temperature, with the central part of the country 10 degrees above normal.
Heidi Cullen and other climate experts* tells us that global warming is raising summer temperatures, and they will be 12 degrees warmer in the US by 2100.

If it feels hot to you now in the dog days of this summer, imagine a time when summertime Boston starts feeling like Miami and even Montana sizzles.
Thanks to climate change, that day is coming by the end of the century, making it harder to avoid simmering temperatures.
By the end of the century, assuming the current emissions trends, Boston’s average summer high temperatures will be more than 10°F hotter than they are now, making it feel as balmy as North Miami Beach is today. Summers in Helena, Mont., will warm by nearly 12°F, making it feel like Riverside, Calif.

* In order to understand what a climate expert is, think in terms of a cross between Bernie Madoff and an Enron accountant.
Nobel Prize winner Al Gore says the Arctic will be ice free in a few weeks, but Environment Canada shows both ends of the Northwest Passage blocked with ice.
Ninety-seven percent of climate experts agree with Al Gore, so the only rational conclusion is that Environment Canada are engaging in heresy against the global warming religion.
Yesterday reached 80 degrees in Calrinda, Iowa – but 80 years ago in 1934, it was 34 degrees warmer at 114 degrees.
August 8, 1934 was one of the hottest days in US history, with many midwestern stations over 110 degrees.
One hundred percent of the midwest was in drought in August 1934, compared to zero percent in 2014.
This has been the coldest year on record in the Midwest so far.
Climate experts say that the climate is getting hotter and drier, because they are complete idiots and have no idea what they are talking about. The good news is that NCDC and NASA have since erased the hot 1930s.
Since the same date in 2011, the amount of 4/5 year old ice in the Arctic has increased by 71%. Experts say that the Arctic is melting down.
NSIDC shows thick multi-year ice right up to the coast of Alaska. Excellent conditions for progressives to take their Northwest passage cruise.
In 1961, there was a unanimous consensus for global cooling
The 1975 National Academy of Sciences report showed this cooling.
NCAR showed this cooling
NOAA showed this cooling in both Radiosonde and surface data
Hadley still shows this cooling in their radiosonde data
But NASA GISS shows no cooling during the 1960s
Surface and radiosonde data from multiple sources showed similar strong cooling, but NASA shows a slight warming during that period
The next graph shows the hockey stick of divergence between GISS and the legitimate data sources.
The global cooling scare doesn’t fit the NASA agenda, so they simply got rid of it, the old fashioned Orwellian way.
Two years ago, I caught NSIDC pulling a fast one in their sea ice graphs. A few hours before the Arctic extent line was about to cross the 1979-2000 mean line, they changed their plotting scheme to use a five day trailing average for the current ice and a nine day trailing average for the climatology. This moved the extent line away from the mean line, and narrowly avoided the immediate death of the death spiral.
I pointed out to them they can’t do that because it puts a two day relative shift in the data – and after arguing with me about it they admitted they can’t do that and fixed it the next day.
I was shocked to learn that the entire basis of climate alarmism, is models which extremely over-predict warming in the tropical troposphere.

it is obvious that the observed trends in both temperature datasets (HadCRUT and RSS) are at the extreme low end of the model predictions
