To put it another way, an area the size of Alaska, America’s biggest state, was open water two years ago, but is again now covered by ice.
The most widely used measurements of Arctic ice extent are the daily satellite readings issued by the US National Snow and Ice Data Center, which is co-funded by Nasa. These reveal that – while the long-term trend still shows a decline – last Monday, August 25, the area of the Arctic Ocean with at least 15 per cent ice cover was 5.62 million square kilometres.
This was the highest level recorded on that date since 2006 (see graph, right), and represents an increase of 1.71 million square kilometres over the past two years – an impressive 43 per cent.
Other figures from the Danish Meteorological Institute suggest that the growth has been even more dramatic. Using a different measure, the area with at least 30 per cent ice cover, these reveal a 63 per cent rise – from 2.7 million to 4.4 million square kilometres.

FALSE!
Facts have no role to play in this discussion. Agenda uber alles!
cold winter here we come ... guess had best enjoy the warmth that is left .... shiver shiver
Glaciers forming in Scotland - Ice Age Now iceagenow.info/2014/08/glaciers-forming-scotland/ 3 days ago - Almost 300 “snow patches” remain in Highland mountains. A few days ago I posted an article about snowfields still remaining in Scotland
“Stop getting facts in my Gaia worshipping pseudo religion!” -Am Gore
Lol, stupid smertfoan autocowrecks “Al” to “Am”.
.... Dear Planet Earth: DON”T LISTEN TO THE WITCHDOCTORS ..... NO YOU DON’T HAVE A FEVER ... YOU ARE ABOUT TO FREEZE TO DEATH!!!!
Sat images of a retreating ice cap was the strongest evidence the AGW researchers had IMO. This is another computer model that has failed.
I just let it do whatever the lame programmers want it to do.

Haven’t you got the word? Global cooling is just as much “climate change” as global warming. Every change and no change are all evidence that we need more government control!
If it cannot be disproved, it is not science, it is religion.
OH NOES! Not Global COOLING !?
BTW, does that mean that we taxpayers get a tax refund for the taxpayer dollars already spent on Global Warming?

“Misleading as such forecasts are, some people continue to make them. Only last month, while giving evidence to a House of Lords Select Committee inquiry on the Arctic, Cambridge University’s Professor Peter Wadhams claimed that although the Arctic is not ice-free this year, it will be by September 2015.”
Good one!
Holy crap! That ice building up must be due to CO2 somehow. And now all that ice is going to make the world top-heavy and then it’s going to tip over,
We HAVE to tax you folks to stop this. In the name of Gaia-manity, we have to!!!
I wonder at what point the warmers become embarrassed?
During the next ice age?
“while the long-term trend still shows a decline”
By what measure? They just had to slip that in to cover their butts.
