RE: Arctic Sea Ice News and Analysis
From that web site:
“Although ice extent is slightly greater than this time last year, the average decline rate through the month of May was 8,000 square kilometers per day (3,000 square miles per day) faster than last May. Ice extent as the month closed approached last May’s value.”
I don’t know how they figure that, nor do I know how they confidently extrapolate that into a complete melt projection. The pictures in this thread seem to indicate, regardless of this analysis claims, that sea ice is still greater this year at the end of June.
Go figure!
