That wasn't in the script. Arctic Ice really on the up despite record
global high satellite temperatures. Nothing is what it seems
apparently
It's a snapshot Lawrence..........it's due to synoptics and it has
nothing to do with any script, or any trend. You just don't learn.
The last snapshot you posted, exactly 10 days ago was the day of the
probable 2010 maximum and it has decreased, albeit slowly and
erratically, since then. You did say that Arctic Ice was heading
towards the mean. It wasn't, it isn't and the likelihood of it
reaching the mean at any time this melt season is as remote as the
MetO giving you a sinecure (look it up). The present state of Arctic
sea ice is completely typical of this time of year at the end of the
freezing season. Well below the 30-year mean - as it will be at the
end of the melt season. The only question is how low will the 2010
minimum be. So there. *))

And the extent of the ice maximum shows little correlation with
that year's minimum.

Often Col. See 2006 especially and the pattern of many other years
through the melt season. I'll bet the NSIDC say something very similar
in their end of season update - unusual synoptics.

Lawrence won't learn from that and at some stage during the next few
months when ice melt has slowed (which it will, at some time) he'll
provide another snapshot to say how it is not going to "script"; then
won't be able to back up what he's said.
These snapshot threads really are Groundhog Day in nature and there
will be more. Lawrence has to try something to counter the fact that
global temperatures are still rising. Any evidence of a place,
somewhere on earth, which is not increasing in temperature that day is
evidence to him. Instead of cooling, it's now evidence that "something
is up" with the climate.
Well, yes there is: it's warming up.
