Rapid Rebound Brings Ice Back to Levels from the 1980s.

An abnormally cool Arctic is seeing dramatic changes to ice levels. In sharp contrast to the rapid melting seen last year, the amount of global sea ice has rebounded sharply and is now growing rapidly. The total amount of ice, which set a record low value last year, grew in October at the fastest pace since record-keeping began in 1979.

The actual amount of ice area varies seasonally from about 16 to 23 million square kilometers. However, the mean anomaly-- defined as the difference between the current area and the seasonally-adjusted average-- changes much slower, and generally varies by only 2-3 million square kilometers.

That anomaly had been negative, indicating ice loss, for most of the current decade and reached a historic low in 2007. The current value is again zero, indicating an amount of ice exactly equal to the global average from 1979-2000....

They just ignore things like this. They have their proven faulty models and just keep yammering away.

(CNN) -- The North Pole may be briefly ice-free by September as global warming melts away Arctic sea ice, according to scientists from the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado.

It never happened, despite what those scientists and even a few members on this board thought.

Just two days ago, on another board that I know of, somebody brought up the "There will be no ice at the north pole for the first time in 1,000,000 years" stuff.

Somebody answered: "What caused it 1,000,000 years ago? Mazda or Toyota?"

THE ICE AGE IS COMING, THE ICE AGE IS COMING.....if anyone can spare six or seven million$ I would be glad to study that for you.....

Volatility does not equal a trend. This article appears to be basing its conclusion on the last 2-3 weeks or so of data.

Well holy crap are you saying that this is cyclic???? or is it anthropogenic?

[SpidermanTUba]

Would it stretch your imagination that far to conceive of the possibility that something in nature may be affected by both anthropogenic as well as non-anthropogenic causes?

No. Would it stretch yours to say that many have been saying it may be more than man made?

Not at all, but you have been like a freaking broken record on here and other places about how humans are basicly the cause of EVERYTHING, YOU are the one that has been very dense on the cyclic changes.....
