JPL: Missing ice in 2007 drained out the Nares strait – pushed south by wind where it melted far away from the Arctic
This fits right in to what I’ve been blogging about for two years. the 2007 record minimum ice extent was wind driven not melt driven. A significant portion of the…
Gore on the Arctic (again)
ANOTHER BOLD PREDICTION OF AN ICE-FREE ARCTIC Guest post by Mark Johnson Al Gore trumpets the latest conclusions of Climate Change Advocate David Barber. “Sea ice in Canada’s fragile Arctic…

Scripps: Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapse Possibly Triggered by Ocean Waves
WUWT readers may remember this article: Watch the Wilkins ice shelf collapse in time lapse animation – looks like ‘current’ events to me where mechanisms other than melt were discussed. It…
NOAA's new website climate.gov – a first day sin of omission
Today NOAA officially announced www.climate.gov It didn’t take skeptics long to find a sin of omission. WUWT reader Dave N. pointed this one out to me. Let’s start with the…
Ice in Chinese ports "exceeding anything experienced in 30 years"
From the “weather is not climate department” another report of ice further south than has been recently experienced. Here’s a picture from this China Daily news story: From Maritime Global.net…
Antarctic sea water shows 'no sign' of warming
From the Australian: SEA water under an East Antarctic ice shelf showed no sign of higher temperatures despite fears of a thaw linked to global warming that could bring higher…
IPCC scientist: Global cooling headed our way for the next 30 years?
UPDATE: The subject of this article, Mojib Latif, has challenged the Daily Mail article and it’s interpretation. In another story at the Guardian, Latif says the interpretation by the Daily…
USGS: Arctic sea too warm for sea ice 3 million years ago
This is a paleoclimatology finding, with current spin added. I guess they haven’t seen the latest on the NAO and AO. USGS Press Release: Arctic Could Face Warmer and Ice-Free…
The Arctic Oscillation Index goes strongly negative
In the last month, the Arctic Oscillation Index (AO) has gone strongly negative. You can see that it headed to its negative peak right about the time the Copenhagen Climate…
"rotten" sea ice – not even in Denmark
There’s plenty of stories about how Arctic sea ice is now “rotten”. There’s darn few that talk about yearly comparisons or what other scientific outlets are saying about the claim.…
Arctic warming goes with the floe
Past Arctic Warming Also Created by Currents Guest posted by Jeff Id of The Air Vent I’ve stated here on several occasions that the ‘Recent’ Arctic ice thinning is more likely…
The Top Ten Reasons why I think Catlin Arctic Ice Survey data can't be trusted
First, I loathe having to write another story about Pen Hadow and his Catlin Arctic Ice expedition, which I consider the scientific joke of 2009. But these opportunistic explorers are…
Another possible DMSP/SSMI sea ice sensor failure?
Readers may recall that I brought an issue with NSIDC’s sea ice data to their attention back in February 09. The official response from Walt Meier then was “its not…
New paper: Barents Sea Temperature correlated to the AMO as much as 4C – potential for sea ice effect
A new paper just published in the Geophysical Review Letters finds a significant correlation between the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and the water temperature of the Barents Sea. This was…
Operation ice bridge in Antarctica
While we have no mention in press of the record amounts of ice for the entire Antarctic continent as shown here, scientists are focusing on the one part of the…
NSIDC still pushing ice free Arctic summers
NSIDC seems to be saying: It’s slightly less worse than we thought. For another view, see Dr. Tony Berry’s sea ice analysis on WUWT yesterday. From a University of Colorado…
