Global sea ice area is second highest on record for the date after 1988, and closing in the #1 spot. Antarctic ice is melting very slowly this summer, due to record cold Antarctic temperatures.

U.S. Winters Are Warming, But Regional Precipitation Changes Are More Nuanced
The Heidi slime team wanted a red map, so they picked the start as the 1970’s ice age scare – including three of the coldest winters on record in the US.
If we go back to the 1930’s, winter temperatures have declined 0.5C. The map would be almost solid blue. Three of the ten coldest winters have occurred since the year 2000.

The animation above shows four versions of GISS 1930-1999 US temperatures – from 1999, 2001, 2012, and 2013. NASA has repeatedly tampered* with the data to hide the decline in US temperatures since the 1930’s. Each successive alteration makes the past cooler and the present warmer.
Earlier versions showed even more of a decline, but I can’t locate digital data for them.
*Mosher says these adjustments are all first rate science.
26 Apr 1994 – Theory cops flak from the Sun THE TUESDAY READ
h/t to Antonio Martinez
We have reached the summer solstice in Antarctica, and record amounts of sea ice are reflecting light back into space and cooling the planet, a full 30º away from the pole – where the sun is high in the sky.
Polar amplification is happening, but in the opposite direction of what experts predicted.
They will whine about ice loss the North Pole, and I will appropriately humiliate them when they do.
I saw an interesting comment on a discussion forum the other day
“Wood for trees is a well known denier site”
Wood for Trees is a graphing site which allows you to plot out temperature data sets, among other things. Apparently actual data is biased towards deniers, which gives the site a bad reputation among alarmists.
NASA data tampering is a continuous work in progress, and almost always involves cooling the past and warming the present.
The graph below shows changes to the US temperature record that have been made just since April, 2012
