The drop in sea ice area from 1979 to 2006 was caused by global warming melting the Arctic, and the rise back to 1979 levels since 2007 was also caused by global warming changing wind Antarctic patterns – and freshening the south polar seas through glacial melting.

So basically, the competing processes of global warming and global warming have cancelled each other out.

After hearing mindless crap like this from government scientists, useful idiots in the press nod their heads and imagine they are hearing cutting edge science.

Global Sea Ice Extent is 253,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Still higher than any year (for day 221) since 2000.

I was shocked to learn that the entire basis of climate alarmism, is models which extremely over-predict warming in the tropical troposphere.

it is obvious that the observed trends in both temperature datasets (HadCRUT and RSS) are at the extreme low end of the model predictions

Global Sea Ice Extent is 245,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. The last year it was higher on this day was back in 2000.

This is the list of years with LESS global sea ice extent on day 219;

1985 1986 1990 1991 1993 1995 1997 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014

NOAA/NASA are making moves towards claiming that 2014 is the hottest year ever, based on their bogus surface temperatures.

More accurate satellite data shows 2014 as quite ordinary, and 0.4C below the hottest year of 1998.

NASA knows that satellite data is more accurate than surface data, but they choose to ignore it because it doesn’t fit the global warming agenda.

01 Apr 1990 – EARTHWEEK: A DIARY OF THE PLANET Global Warming

Today’s sea level rise propaganda.

The US is having one of its coldest years on record, as evidenced by record Great Lakes ice, and many pronouncements of record or near record cold winter and summer monthly temperatures by states and the National Weather Service.

But after data tampering by NCDC, this year has been just below average temperature, and only 41st coldest since 1895.

The actual thermometer data shows 2014 as 7th coldest on record so far, and coldest since 1979

More than two-thirds of the US has been below normal temperature so far this year.

NCDC accomplishes their feat of destroying the US temperature record, through a phenomenal hockey stick of data tampering- which cools the past by almost two degrees relative to the current year.

Note that according to NCDC, this year has been warmer than almost every year in the 1960s. This massive corruption defies both explanation and imagination.
