Not exact matches
The Arctic has been one of the areas of the world that has
seen sky - high
temperatures this year, which have led to
record -
low sea ice levels.
Those high
temperatures have kept Arctic sea ice to
record low levels; the Arctic looks to
see a

Sorry, I went back to review your graphs and
saw the
low temperature record values this time, my apologies.
The years with very
low sea - ice coincide with very cold winter
temperatures recorded in central Asia, as you can
see in the graph below.
The true believer in AGW can look at the ice core
record and
see, for example: 800 years with
temperatures rising while CO2 is
low and falling; 4000 years with both CO2 and
temperature rising; then 400 years with
temperatures falling while CO2 is high and rising, and say that we do not know what caused the first and last of those periods, but over the majority of the period (4000 out of 5200 years) the two were in step.
On March 24, 2016, just four days after the end of astronomical winter [6]-- which

lowest annual maximum since
records began in 1979.
Now
see that the climate catastrophists don't care if the blade is an artifact because they think it's ok anyway to just graft on the high res (though still crap)
temperature record on the end of a
low res (even crappier) proxy
record That is, they don't have a clue how science usually works.
«Of course, we continue to
see blazing headlines and breathless broadcasts from the establishment news media regarding every new high
temperature record, but a near total blackout of the news of
low temperature records.»
In addition to near -
record temperatures, 2017 also
saw record -
low sea ice during parts of the year, both in the Arctic and Antarctic.
Lets look at the short term CO2 growth rate change due to
temperature change and notice that the fudged
record does not track growth rate change as well as the charts do here: http://www.biomind.de/realCO2/ When I try to understand why the CO2 levels may have been kept
low by the LONG effects of volcanic activity as well as Krakatoa in 1883 I
see a VE6 in 1902 and another in 1912 but then none that large until 1991 and I do not remember it being anything like the descriptions of Krakatoa.
Or as J. Marshall Shepherd, director of the atmospheric sciences program at the University of Georgia, sarcastically described the
record -
low temperatures, «What we are
seeing right now in the United States is just,... well... wait for it... «winter.
And 2015 won't
see much relief: The snowpack is trending at
record low levels because of high
temperatures and
low snowfall.
''... worked with two sediment cores they extracted from the seabed of the eastern Norwegian Sea, developing a 1000 - year proxy
temperature record «based on measurements of δ18O in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a planktonic foraminifer that calcifies at relatively shallow depths within the Atlantic waters of the eastern Norwegian Sea during late summer,» which they compared with the temporal histories of various proxies of concomitant solar activity... This work revealed, as the seven scientists describe it, that «the
lowest isotope values (highest
temperatures) of the last millennium are
seen ~ 1100 - 1300 A.D., during the Medieval Climate Anomaly, and again after ~ 1950 A.D.» In between these two warm intervals, of course, were the colder
temperatures of the Little Ice Age, when oscillatory thermal minima occurred at the times of the Dalton, Maunder, Sporer and Wolf solar minima, such that the δ18O proxy
record of near - surface water
temperature was found to be «robustly and near - synchronously correlated with various proxies of solar variability spanning the last millennium,» with decade - to century - scale
temperature variability of 1 to 2 °C magnitude.»
Reasoning for a decrease in sea ice extent from recent years, perhaps approaching new
record -
low minimum, focuses on the below - normal sea ice thickness overall, the thinning of sea ice in coastal seas, rotting of old multi-year sea ice, warm
temperatures in April and May 2010, and the rapid loss of sea ice area
seen during May.
We'll
see very soon, if Wyatt is correct then no global
temperature record nor a
record low sea ice extent, area or volume within the next year.
The first half of 2017 has
seen record low sea ice extents at both poles and near -
record global average
temperatures — despite the absence of a...
This makes sense to me, and may help explain why melting in the Arctic sea ice was nearly as great as last year's
record, despite much
lower Arctic
temperatures (
see below) over the last year.
Cicerone said we're already
seeing more
record high
temperatures than we are
record low temperatures.
I know that some climate science / activists aren't «happy» with such mitigants (and often only work on the warming ones rather than the cooling ones), but it's interesting to
see how the
temperature record is currently reflecting them all being out on the table as we get closer to leaving the
lower bound of 95 % confidence on a very expensive climate modeling effort that is hardly very old.
THE «extreme» cold has
seen Iguanas frozen solid in Florida, alligators in a state of cryogenic freeze, sharks washed up in Cape Cod «stranded due to cold shock», the coldest Super Bowl on
record, Niagara Falls frozen over, a thermometer in the world's coldest village breaking as
temperatures plunge to -62 C, the
lowest temperature ever
recorded in Bangladesh, frozen crops creating a food crisis in Europe, even a mass die - off of sea creatures as UK ocean temps plunged 1 - 3 degrees centigrade, cold
temperatures smashed across Saskatchewan's central and south regions in the spring of April, and the list of non-heat «extremes» goes on.
Locations of proxy
records with data back to AD 1000, 1500 and 1750 (instrumental: red thermometers; tree ring: brown triangles; borehole: black circles; ice core / ice borehole: blue stars; other including
low - resolution
records: purple squares) that have been used to reconstruct NH or SH
temperatures by studies shown in Figure 6.10 (
see Table 6.1, excluding O2005) or used to indicate SH regional
temperatures (Figure 6.12).
«To be honest, as far as
temperatures, for as far out as we can
see there's no relief,» said Brandon Smith, who is expecting
temperatures all across Utah to surpass the state's all - time highs this summer.Besides for raising fears about

record temperatures are making life harder for firefighters who are anticipating more of the types of wildfires most recently
seen ravaging Southern California.
