Arctic sea ice hits record low


19 March 2015

Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has fallen to the lowest recorded level for the winter season, according to US scientists.
The maximum this year was 14.5 million sq km, said the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
This is the lowest since 1979, when satellite records began.
A recent study found that Arctic sea ice had thinned by 65% between 1975 and 2012.
Bob Ward of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics said: "The gradual disappearance of ice is having profound consequences for people, animals and plants in the polar regions, as well as around the world, through sea level rise."
The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said the maximum level of sea ice for winter was reached this year on 25 February and the ice was now beginning to melt as the Arctic moved into spring.

We will just have to see if this results into a record low in September.

Wonder why that would be?

More cherry picking.

More cherry picking.

Why? Our records only go back so far into the past and based on them they're showing these results. Why can't you accept it.

Oh Gawd

Weve been hearing this shit for 20+ years now!!!


nobody cares

All we know for certain is that it was not due to a wisp of CO2

 

[excalibur]

There is actually satellite data from the early 1970's until 1979, which shows that the AGW crowd chooses to ignore. Why? Does not fit their meme.

There is even data from NIMBUS satellites back to the 1960's.

Of course, if we put the pre-satellite data in ...it shows the melt starting around 1970. Again, supporting AGW theory. Oops. Deniers get busted in another outright lie. Same old same old.

You know, if all the data didn't contradict you deniers, you wouldn't have to always lie about it. The fact that you do always lie about it speaks volumes about your motivation.

IN a word... NO

2015 Arctic Sea Ice Maximum Annual Extent Is Lowest On Record

March 19, 2015

The sea ice cap of the Arctic appeared to reach its annual maximum winter extent on Feb. 25, according to data from the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado, Boulder. At 5.61 million square miles (14.54 million square kilometers), this year’s maximum extent was the smallest on the satellite record and also one of the earliest.

Looks like a lot of other people think this is the lowest maximum that we have experianced thus far.

Pre satellite data is not the same as satellite data, for obvious reasons, so apples / oranges. But as I mentioned, there is satellite data back to the 1960's with NIMBUS.

There is also a problem wit that chart where pre satellite meets satellite.

 

[Old Rocks]

Interesting.

 

[excalibur]

Again, not true. And the thick, multi-year ice has been increasing. The only real area with less ice in the Arctic isn't even in the Arctic Circle.

The only real deficiency is in the Sea of Okhotsk, which is just north of Japan and is not in the Arctic

More of the same

Nothing noteworthy has happened on the PICT graph (the crude ice thickness

PIOMAS January 2015 - Arctic Sea Ice

That sure looks like one hell of a thickening.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

All we know for certain is that there is not a single lab experiment linking an additional wisp of CO2 to temperature increase or ice melt

First you say it's wrong _not_ to show the pre-satellite data. And then when I show it, you spin completely about and declare it's wrong to show the data.

Could you make up your mind?
