This chart is a little ahead of the NSIDC one and you can see from it
that the Arctic sea ice has begun to melt again.

If the amount of Arctic sea ice is reducing in JANUARY, even if it turns
out to be only for a day or two, that seems remarkable and really brings
it home just how far global warming has gone.


It happened in 2012. http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ch...sea-ice-graph/

The sea ice etc. is chaotic, which makes it very difficult to predict. It is very difficult to work out what it is going to do until it has done it :-)
