In other words, the ice sheet was about 10% larger than last years record low.
“We’re definitely sliding towards a point where our brains will be all gone.”
There... fixed it.
“Crucial Arctic sea ice this summer shrank to its second lowest level on record, continuing an alarming trend, scientists said Tuesday.”
A reversal of a trend is a continuation of a trend. Got that? It’s essential that we understand these fine points of global warming.
The end of the global warming hoax is in sight.
This is interesting:
“Recent massive volcanoes have risen from the ocean floor deep under the Arctic ice cap, spewing plumes of fragmented magma into the sea, scientists who filmed the aftermath reported Wednesday.
The eruptions as big as the one that buried Pompei took place in 1999 along the Gakkel Ridge, an underwater mountain chain snaking 1,800 kilometres (1,100 miles) from the northern tip of Greenland to Siberia.”

Maybe now after nine years the water temperature is returning to normal.
Arctic sea ice is useless, if I can’t put it in a rocks glass with some JD in it (salty Jack bad) what good is it?
Did this have anything to do with the underwater volcanoes spewing molten lava into the water? I’d imagine that would warm the artic up a few degrees.
29 years is certainly long enough to make sweeping generalizations about long-term climate changes. The earth is what, 6000 years old? 29 years is almost 1/2 of one percent of the history of the earth.
Oh, wait, we're talking millions of years, with evidence of tropical plants in Antarctica and glaciers covering what is now Chicago. Yeah, 29 years is plenty of time.
Did they lie to me?
Another, easier way to look at this: The artic ice was 150,000 square miles larger than last year. Do the math.
“The end of the global warming hoax is in sight.”
Don’t count on it. People don’t let go of religion easily. And the T Boone’s of the world have a lot of money invested in this scheme. PT Barnum would be proud.
Argghhh...the last taste in my mouth will be carribean rum and salt water, said the pirate.

Global Warming on Free Republic
Last year's sea ice minimum was WAY below the expected minimum based on projected trends and models before last year. This year's minimum came quite close to the beyond-expectations minimum of last year. So now there's two years in a row of an Arctic sea ice minimum well below the projected decline trend.
Watching the Dow Jones Average the last few days, let's see: it was down ~500, up ~190, down ~450, and now it's currently up 25. Ah, I see the Dow Jones trend is reversing!
Beyond a shadow of a doubt -- no, it doesn't.
Yes, but it can't be phrased like that - doesn't fit the agenda.
