We've seen this one before but it's worth another look because it shows so
clearly the reason for the sea ice decline. This version has a slightly better

Norman,
Do you mean that the sea ice decline is caused by the thick sea ice adjacent the Canadian archipelago being drawn into the Beaufort Gyre, and into the Transpolar current which takes it out of the Arctic via the Fram Strait.
http://www.windows2universe.org/eart..._currents.html

But why is that happening now?

For god's sake leave this alone. It only demonstrates that media hype and falsified stats can fool the masses.

We are just at the end of a significant El Nino event.. what else woukd you expect?

Also, you actually believe the publidhed stats ftom a corrupt and dishonourable set of global government agencies? All of which are doing anything for funding.

Nowhere is the raw data available unadjusted and impartial...I know, I work for the experts, have done for multiple decades.

So let it lie and wait to see what the real data might show next year when they are suddenly worried about something else, probably the decline of solar activity, the substantial increase in Extra Solar Gamma rays and how it will affect us all! Basically, whatever becomes political and more importantly, newsworthy enough to cause even more hysteria.

What ever we are fed, it is embellished and twisted...to serve a purpose, including to raise research funding and/or to keep us all confused and ignorant to the benefit of the puppeteers.

Don't believe everything you are fed, wherever you see it.

Try to relax and have a great Chrisymas. All will be the same next year, believe me.

We haven't been having El Nino events every year for the past century.
That's the length of time that Arctic sea-ice has been declining. The
loss of ice in the Arctic and from glaciers was noticed and being
studied back in the 1950s. The conclusion back then was that the decline
was not due to natural causes such as changes in solar output. The true
cause was then unknown because nobody had been listening to Callendar.

We have over a century of real data from the Arctic. That shows that the
time for waiting is long over and it's probably too late for action to
have any meaningful effect.

I certainly wouldn't believe anything from you.

Well said Graham.

What poeple don't get a grasp of is the shear speed of ice decline and
increased global temperatures, which knowone know what the knock on
effect will really be.

Mind you, what I see of the human race around the World, we must be due
for 40 days and 40 nights of rain before long.

There are always nutters and we know who that particular one is. Ignore him.. Norman's updates are very interesting. Personally, I'm not convinced of any step change. Let's give that a couple of years and I feel we may have seen a recovery towards the recent norms by March. If not; let's see if there is a record next September. If there is, let's see if the current ice loss is repeated next winter.

Ice decline is a long process.

He'd rather believe whatever conforms to his precious world view,
combined with clinging to the human utopia of freedom without

with it. Any acceptance of anthropogenic climate change and its
consequences flies right against all that.

Norman,
Do you mean that the sea ice decline is caused by the thick sea ice adjacent
the Canadian archipelago being drawn into the Beaufort Gyre, and into the
Transpolar current which takes it out of the Arctic via the Fram Strait.
http://www.windows2universe.org/eart..._currents.html

But why is that happening now?

To my eye, the video shows very clearly what has been happening since 1990. The
commentary with the video explains the process very clearly. It's not just
happening 'now'. The video shows that it is a contious process that has been
on-going since at least 1990. It undoubtedly started much earlier than that,
albeit at a much slower rate initially.

It looks to me as though the Arctic could be largely ice-free in summer within
not very many years from now.The multi-year ice is escaping through the Fram
Strait at a much faster rate than it is being generated in the Beaufort Sea.
