Temperatures near the North Pole have been below freezing continuously since mid-September of last year, yet climate experts tell us the ice is melting at a record rate, and will be all gone later this summer. Apparently they never completed preschool level science.
For the second year in a row, Greenland’s surface is gaining well above average amounts of ice.

Last year, DMI tried to blame the record growth on a 2016 hurricane. What is going to be their excuse this year?

Arctic sea ice volume (22,100 km^3) is now above the 2004-2013 mean (21,400 km^3.)

Arctic sea ice volume is highest for the date in thirteen years, and declining at the slowest rate on record.

The faithful remain undaunted however. Reality and veracity play no part in the world of climate alarmists – for whom no lie is too big.

But, never, ever refer to actual climate data which wrecks your current funding stream.
About five years ago, Toto was attacked by a large owl in Fort Collins. He escaped by running half a mile back to my evil fossil fuel powered SUV, which he hid under until I found him an hour later.
Owls fly silently and carry concealed weapons. Perhaps this is why the Boulder City Council is trying to destroy their home.
The DMI Greenland melt graph and map seems to be stuck on a few days ago, with the June 8 values being exactly the same as the June 7 values. Joe Bastardi pointed this out yesterday.
However there was almost no melting on June 8.
Meanwhile ice and snow continues to accumulate on Greenland’s surface at a near record rate.

And sea surface temperatures around Greenland are plummeting.

The bad news keeps piling up for climate alarmists. Their scam is dying a very rapid death.
Arctic sea ice volume is highest for the date in thirteen years.
June melt so far is the slowest on record.
The interior of the Arctic is covered with 1.5-5 meter thick ice, generally thicker than it was 60 years ago and 80 years ago.

Climate scientists describe the record slow Arctic melt as “record fast” – because their funding depends on maintaining alarm about the climate.
There has been no trend in Arctic sea ice volume over the past eleven years.

Toto’s career pulling back the curtain started 80 years ago, after a tornado transported him from black and white Kansas to colorful Oz.
He would have a more difficult time now getting his career launched, because tornadoes are once again at a record low.
