Arctic Ice Rebound

MASIE Proves Yearly Arctic Ice Recovering

You will be hearing a lot about 2015 having the fourth lowest minimum Arctic ice extent ever recorded.

Here is what they are not telling you:

MASIE has very helpfully provided their records for the last ten years.  Since stormy weather can affect both maximum and minimum ice extents, emphasis on March and September averages can be misleading. From a climate change perspective, a better metric is the average ice extent over the entire year. By that measure we gain a realistic perspective on the last ten years of Arctic ice fluctuation.

While Arctic ice varies a lot seasonally, the graph shows that it is not that variable annually during this decade. Fluctuating about +/- 4%, there was a slightly increasing trend, particularly in the last five years.  Here are the ice extents in M km2:

Year	Annual  Average	March Average	Sept Average	Sept Minimum	March Max
2006	10.667	14.260	5.831

Mind Blowing Sea Level Fraud At National Geographic

Real Science

National Geographic published this spectacularly fraudulent hockey of sea level, along with this wildly false claim.

Local measurements of sea level with tide gauges became common after 1880; satellites began global measurements in 1992. They’ve shown a clear acceleration: At an eighth of an inch a year, sea level is rising twice as fast as it was a few decades ago.

Rising Seas – Graphic: Rising Seas 

NOAA says that sea level rise rates are one half of the fake National Geographic claims.

absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year

Sea Level Trends – Global Regional Trends

This hockey stick is exactly inverted from the real data. Sea level rise has slowed tremendously over the last seven thousand years.

And their claim of recent acceleration is wildly false.  Many gauges show no sea level rise, or sea level falling. Few, if any show acceleration (upwards curvature)…
