The amount of four and five year old sea ice in the Arctic has increased by 123% since the same week in 2011. Experts say there is no sign of recovery, because their funding depends on people thinking there is something wrong.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I’m afraid I’ve only just received your urgent message Tom. The wonders of the Great God Google!
Here’s the Tschudi et. al. ice age estimate at the 2014 minimum extent:

My question now is the same one I had all summer. Where’s all that 5+ year old extra thick ice north of Barrow gone?

Umm…didn’t we go through this a couple of weeks ago?
All the groups that track the iice more or less agree…old ice = thicker ice.
There, done. No arguiing about it, unless you go argue with those tracking the data, in the fiirst place.
Yeah, I know, I’m a klljoy…but I have noisy kids and a headache, so I’m not in a very good mood…
No noisy kids left around here. Even our new 11 week old American Cocker Spaniel puppy is pretty quiet. One little bark and a few whines since we got her a week ago.
Our kids BAAAA a lot.
If Arctic ice is the canary for CAGW, the canary is doing well.
The canary flew into the deep oceans.
From 1997 until now the 32 ppm increase in CO2 has caused increased LWIR back radiation towards the oceans (losing none of that energy to evaporation) that energy somehow bypassed the first 700 meters of ocean, and at less then1/2 of the models predicted rate, added (poorly measured with large error bars) heat to the deep oceans, where it will hide for some short time, keeping separate from the rest of the deep oceans, and soon it will, or maybe could come screaming out of the oceans and cause global catastrophic disaster world wide.

David A, you forgot the “sarc tag”.
“The canary flew into the deep oceans.” That would make the canary a goldfish 🙂
Actually a nick name for the Beluga whale is “sea canary”.
Sorry David,
Dr Hepper and Dr. Brown and Physicist Peter Malcombe trashed your “CO2 has caused increased LWIR back radiation towards the oceans” story.
So has the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics @ the University of Colorado.

according to the bloke running the north west passage 2014 it would be utter madness to try with boat that size and with that amount of passengers . http://northwestpassage2014.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/sv-sanna-nwp2015plans-worries-about.html
Who wants old ice? I only take my martinis with fresh ice! 😉
Vodka or Gin? I prefer Absolute on the rocks, dry, with blue cheese stuffed olives myself.
Is blue cheese legal? http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/09/then-they-came-for-the-roquefort/
Can’t believe that this will fly. Still not having any trouble getting what I want now. Love blue cheese and pretty much real cheeses in general.
The smellier the better!
Not if the USDA ever figures out that the blue stuff is live mold. /sarc
Liberal fascism against microbial diversity.
They will pry my blue cheese from my cold dead martini!
I will have to try that. I am a Gin man myself, but always open to new combinations.
Sounds like a healthy dinner …
It is healthy, You need the bacteria in cheeses to keep the gut flora in good shape especially if you are killing it off with alcohol. {:>D

Once I quit laughing I will go read the details….
Wow. Talk about an Oh Sh*t moment when that guy figured out who was on the other end of the phone. What are the odds he needed to change his boxers. I would have loved to hear the conversation at DoJ during that 3 minute hold. This reinforces my belief that a very large percentage of our government should either be digging ditches as day laborers or digging ditches in a chain gang.
I vote chain gang.
But it’s old, brittle, bitter and possibly senile ice.
That probably has guns and goes to church…
And probably has a lot of wisdom. After all it didn’t win any Darwin awards….
Just because sea ice is thick does not make it multi-year sea ice. The wind causes the sea ice to pile up. Without the wind, sea ice can only grow so thick during the freezing season. The ice that makes it through the melt season will only grow so thick during the second freezing season unless it is wind blown.
Yes…yes…yes…
But ‘old ice’ IS thicker…
It’s one of those ‘not all thick ice is old iice, but all old ice is thick(er) ice’ kind of things…and no, that is not something made up, but rather is something that all the groups tracking the ice acknowledge.
