Since IPCC (2001) the cryosphere has undergone significant changes, such as the substantial retreat of arctic sea ice, especially in summer; the continued shrinking of mountain glaciers; the decrease in the extent of snow cover and seasonally frozen ground, particularly in spring; the earlier breakup of river and lake ice; and widespread thinning of antarctic ice shelves along the Amundsen Sea coast, indicating increased basal melting due to increased ocean heat fluxes in the cavities below the ice shelvsea ice, especially in summer; the continued shrinking of mountain glaciers; the decrease in the extent of snow cover and seasonally frozen ground, particularly in spring; the earlier breakup of river and lake ice; and widespread thinning of antarctic ice shelves along the Amundsen Sea coast, indicating increased basal melting due to increased ocean heat fluxes in the cavities below the ice shelvSea coast, indicating increased basal melting due to increased ocean heat fluxes in the cavities below the ice shelves.

We see that the arctic sea ice extent has increased since then, currently up around the 2004 levels, so we're told that it's not actually the area, it's the thickness and what birthday it's celebrated.

It is claimed that AGW «science» predicted that Southern Hemsiphere sea ice extent would increase as arctic sea ice would decrease.

quote loss of sea ice in the arctic leads to increased ocean heat loss to the atmosphere resulting in more snow elsewhere.

Just recently a «scientist» at the German hyper alarmist PIK «found out» that the (temporary) loss of sea ice in the arctic leads to increased ocean heat loss to the atmosphere resulting in more snow elsewhere.

Bob Tisdale says: January 10, 2011 at 3:05 pm Manfred says: «Just recently a «scientist» at the German hyper alarmist PIK «found out» that the (temporary) loss of sea ice in the arctic leads to increased ocean heat loss to the atmosphere resulting in more snow elsewhere.

at some point the ocean temperature will not be warm enough to keep the arctic sea ice melted and the sea ice will increase and halt the cooling.

We interpret the split of 2013 Outlooks above and below the 4.1 level to different interpretations of the guiding physics: those who considered that observed sea ice extent in 2012 being well below the 4.1 level indicates a shift in arctic conditions, especially with regard to reduced sea ice thickness and increased sea ice mobility; and those who have estimates above 4.1 who support a return to the longer - term downward trend line (1979 - 2007).

We interpret the split of 2013 Outlooks above and below the 4.1 median to different interpretations of the guiding physics: those who considered that observed sea ice extent in 2012 being well below the 4.1 level indicates a shift in arctic conditions, especially with regard to reduced sea ice thickness and increased sea ice mobility; and those with estimates above 4.1 who support a return to the longer - term downward trend line (1979 - 2007).

I try to give every visitor the assumption of sincere interest and a chance to defend their point of view (an effort that has been slipping over the years, I think I am tired) but the majority are immune to logic and scientific reason even on the trivial points like «weather is not climate» and «arctic sea ice is increasing ``.

Sea ice is lost due to increasing ocean heat transport into the arctic and the resulting loss of ice causes the atmosphere to warm.

considering solar activity HAs indeed flatlined, it seems odd there is no associated increase in arctic sea ice levels.

A good point as arctic regions that are hit with warmer water streams will prevent sea ice extent while those with colder ones can massivly increase in volume when the air is cold enough though no growth would be visible from the top down view.

The June Outlook for arctic sea ice in September 2010 shows reasonable arguments for either a modest increase or decrease in September 2010 sea ice extent compared to the last two years (5.4 million square kilometers in 2009 and 4.7 million square kilometers in 2008).

Meanwhile, global sea ice has remained virtually unchanged for the last 30 years of satellite data, and has increased in the arctic over the last three years, making one wonder where the «enormous» heating is taking place.

THERE HAS BEEN A WARMING TREND FROM THE 70s THRU THE LATE 90s,... accompanied by other changes tied to a warming trend (record low arctic sea ice extent & thickness, retreating glaciers, retreating snow lines, warming ocean surface temps, increases in sea height, de-alkalinizing oceans).

These are radical changes that require increased communication within the arctic science community to advance timely understanding of the arctic sea ice system.

I predict that we we will soon see denialist arguments of the form «yeah sure global temperatures are again rising sharply, but that is due to decreased albedo due to decreased arctic sea ice, not because increased CO2 causes global warming».

The most significant threats to arctic marine mammals comprise loss of sea ice habitat and its associated highly productive food web along with the increase in anthropogenic activities at high latitudes (Ragen et al. 2008).

From 1978 to 1996, the average ice cover around Antarctica showed almost no trend (a slight increase 1.3 % per decade), however ice decreased by 2.9 % per decade on average over the arctic seas (1).

The summer arctic sea ice extent, in contrast, has been significantly under predicted by the models, while the summer Antarctic sea ice extent increase has been missed by the models.

How do you bridge a divide with attendees like Steven Goddard (who believes that it snows dry ice in antarctica therefore proving all textbooks on physical chemistry wrong, and that arctic sea ice volume is drastically increasing), or Tallbloke (who rejects the last 90 - ish years of physics, starting with Einstein, and insists that the ether is real), etc etc?

Record droughts in many areas of the world, the loss of arctic sea ice — what you see is an increasing trend that is superimposed on annual variablity (no bets on what happens next year, but the five - to - ten year average in global temperatures, sea surface temperatures, ocean heat content — those will increase — and ice sheet volumes, tropical glacier volumes, sea ice extent will decrease.
