GLOBAL SEA ICE (Total historic record):

New climate change records have come along to remind us that Earth's thermostat is steadily pushing upward.
March 2015 was the warmest March since record-keeping began in 1880, says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. And the first quarter of 2015 was the warmest first quarter on record in those same 136 years.
That gives 2015 a stab at trumping the hottest year on record -- which was 2014.
The uninterrupted continuation of the warming trend is no surprise. The 10 warmest years on record have occurred in the past 17 years.
And though the rise in the last 10 years has been gentle by comparison, since 1910, the clear trend has been up, according to NASA's Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index.
In the latter two thirds of that time, warming and the effects on climate have been epochal, says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. "Since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia."
Yet another broken record this March was more obvious to the eye. The expanse of Arctic sea ice shrunk to an absolute low for any March on record.
On the other end of the globe -- in the Antarctic -- sea ice has been on the gain, and this year, it hit a record March high.
But globally, the overall result is a big net loss. "The upward trend in the Antarctic ... is only about a third of the magnitude of the rapid loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean," according to NASA.

Uh, not so much. I smell politics, somebody get a wet wipe.
as long as it sounds authoritative and DRAMATIC...yes!

GLOBAL SEA ICE (Total historic record):
Does nobody remember 80-90 degree weather during May?
I can barely remember it!
I do remember a 90 degree temperature in Northern California in the early 80’s ..One Day,,of that sort of heat.
Global Climate Chaos has cleary taken over.
I should have clarified location, because Delaware had that around every year, thankfully they have yet to beat their 1930 heat record of 105, not feels like 105 F, but literally 105 during the day.
Was this in coastal Delaware or anywhere nearly inland?
