The graph shows the Arctic Sea Ice Extant (in square kilometers) for 2013, 2011, 2007, and 2012.
Arctic Sea Ice Extant has almost reached the minimum (which usually occurs around mid-Sept) for this year.
In a December 2007 article appearing in National Geographic News, NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally predicted that the Arctic would be ice free in the Summer of 2012,
That did not happen, as the graph shows, and this year the Summer minimum will be significantly higher than it was in 2012, as well as being higher than it was for 2007 and 2011.
Well of course, we all know that the warmer the earth gets, the more ice is formed. S off. So much for global warming. I am sure the chump who invented the Internet, is saddened by this news.
Concentration looking good

Of course that is counterproductive to blowhards like algore and the legion of pseudo-scientists that have made an industry out of screaming 'Global Warming'.
The Arctic summer was the shortest on record. Forty five days above freezing. Normal is ninety days.
I read that the Northwest passage has closed up early, trapping 22 boats.
If the Canadian C G doesn’t rescue them w/ icebreakers they will be spending the winter there.
My son in CO told me some Arctic nesting birds are heading South, about a month early.
Good thing that Al Gore made a billion or two off his global warming racket before the ice bounced back!
Looks to me like he ought to be claiming success. He has saved the world from mankind’s evil greenhouse gases and gotten relatively rich (too thick?)
Are you saying NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally is full of sh!t? Of course he is. And he knows he is. But he has to do what he does to keep taxpayer dollars flowing into the grants he lives off of. He and the other warmers/changers are perpetrating the largest scam the world has ever known and we’re all paying for it.
If they aren’t crushed by moving ice.
Wait for the expected “debunking rebuttal”: “It’s a cyclic pause in the continuing trend, that is not, and never was, ‘unexpected’, that is influenced by subtle, little understood, factors that our models can not consider, but which have no bearing on overall trends over the long term, because we say so.”
