This year has a decent chance to challenge 2012! It will all come down to how the meteorological set up is in July-August.

Every winter, the Arctic Ocean's sea ice cover reaches a peak and then declines with the onset of spring. That peak, recorded this year on ...

Great news to have farmable acreage increase.

And the satellite that provides information on 15% sea ice is malfunctioning showing to low of levels...

Love the hype, with data that is far worse than questionable..

 

[ScienceRocks]

New data! wahooo! look at how far the arctic ice is down. damn

Looks like we have another interesting year in store.

Do you think the human race will survive the year or will climate change kill us all?

Do you think that you will ever post anything that indicates more than a room temperature IQ on your part? The Arctic Ice is a very strong indicator of the warming of both the atmosphere and the oceans.

no, no it isn't. you have no evidence that supports that statement at all socks. You would have provided it if you did have it.

Evidence matters not to the crazed warmest. They just BELIEVE.

Fantastic news. Since most weather related deaths are due to cold and this opens up millions of acres of farmland, millions of lives will be saved.

Look everyone, mattpew is drawing with a bunch of colored markers.

Too bad there ain't satellite data to back that up.

You wanna make a bet?

Poor Elektra, she is so dumb that she thinks that there is only one satellite observing the Arctic Ice.

Must you always post silliness?

Arctic - Ice extent still well below normal in Arctic

Arctic sea-ice extent in April was probably at a record low for the month, continuing this year’s trend of record or near-record lows, the National Snow and Ice Data Center said on Tuesday.

Though mechanical glitches have made information from the NSIDC’s satellite temporarily unavailable, other satellite data collected by Japanese and German programs shows Arctic sea ice is much sparser now than it once was at this time of the year.

“We are way, way down on sea ice,” said NSIDC director Mark Serreze. “There’s no indication of any kind of recovery.”

He and his colleagues stopped short of declaring last month a record-low April, because the ice-extent information borrowed from the other programs is produced using a slightly different methodology than that used by the Colorado-based center, making a correlation with U.S. historical data inexact.

However, it is clear April sea ice extent as measured by the Japanese Aeronautical Exploration Agency was the lowest ever for the month in that program’s record, which goes back a little over a decade, Serreze said.

It was also the lowest in the record kept by a University of Bremen program, which uses the same Japanese satellite, the NSIDC reported in its monthly status report.

Sea-ice extent, which grows during the winter and shrinks in the summer, is a much-watched indicator of Arctic climate. In March the ice reached its maximum extent for the year -- thelowest maximum in the satellite record that dates to 1979. That followed record-low monthly extents for February and for January and the fourth-lowest sea-ice annual minimum, reached last September.
