We haven’t tweaked the Climate Cult nearly enough of late so here’s some ice to chew on. It’s the NOAA passive microwave dataset. This method of measurement shows the approximate annual Arctic sea-ice extent at the top of the world.
As you can see predictions of an abrupt and unstoppable ice-free Arctic appear exaggerated compared to this dataset. Yes, there was ice loss. From 1994 to 2007 the arctic ice cap shrank by 1.537 M km2. That’s almost thirteen percent. But since 2007 the reduction is only 0.081. That equates to almost no change in a decade.
Despite this lack of change in “climate” at the north pole the calamity of declining sea-ice continues to plague us. A non-issue parallel to the repeated rantings over sea-level rise – because they are connected don’t you know.
