The catastrophic loss of sea -
ice in the
arctic (as
shown in the graph at the right) is one of the most conspicuous signs that climate change is very real and is happening, not in a hundred or two hundred years, but NOW.
And remember, the satellite data are one small part of a vast amount of data that overwhelmingly
show our planet is warming up: retreating glaciers, huge amounts of
ice melting at both poles, the «death spiral» of
arctic ice every year at the summer minimum over time, earlier annual starts of warm weather and later starts of cold weather, warming oceans, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, more extreme weather, changing weather patterns overall, earlier snow melts, and lower snow cover in the spring...
However, it seems to me that when you add the energy involved in the atmosphere and the energy involved in melting
arctic sea
ice, the surface warming trend no longer
shows a pause.
A classic case in point was the discovery that field observations of the loss of
arctic sea
ice showed that by 2007 it had advanced to a level predicted by the mean of models of that loss as occurring in the 2100s, while that mean was used as the consensus projection in AR4.

The June Outlook for
arctic sea
ice in September 2010

ice extent compared to the last two years (5.4 million square kilometers in 2009 and 4.7 million square kilometers in 2008).
Overall, the curve
shown in Figure 4 is commensurate with the notion that a thinner
arctic ice cover that is more mobile can lead to greater seasonal and interannual variability, with a potential loss in predictability.
The graph above
shows daily
arctic sea
ice extent.
Had he wished to be objective, he would have pointed out that, while satellite observations do indeed confirm that the extent of
arctic sea
ice has been declining over the past 30 years, the same satellite observations
show that, overall, Antarctic sea
ice has been expanding over the same period.
At least four key findings from these projects relating to
arctic heterotrophic food web, pelagic - benthic coupling and biodiversity have emerged: (1) Contrary to a long - standing paradigm of dormant ecosystems during the long
arctic winter, major food web components
showed relatively high level of winter activity, well before the spring release of
ice algae and subsequent phytoplankton bloom.

arctic ice extent from weather data alone.
With time we will know whether the new study validates but I do find it a bit suspicious when a study seems to

arctic region of the world.
That a simple warming trend throughout the 20th century does not characterise
arctic conditions is also confirmed by records of
ice cover in the four seas that lie north of Siberia (Kara, Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi); these
show clearly that
ice variability in these seas is dominated by a low frequency oscillation of frequency 60 ‐ 80 years that «places a strong limitation on our ability to resolve long term trends».
