Antarctic sea ice at record levels
Some facts you're not likely to hear about from the mainstream media. By Joe D’Aleo.
The Antarctic set a new record (since records began in 1979) for sea ice extent at the end of last winter. It stayed well above the normal through the summer with icemelt 40% below the normal. As a new height of irony and hype, the media made a big deal about a fracture of a small part of the Wilkins ice sheet in late February (160 square miles of the 6 million square mile Antarctic ice sheet (0.0027% of the total).This chart, also from Cryosphere, shows the Global Sea Ice Area from 1979 to present. It begs the question, where's the melt?Media headlines blared: Bye-bye, Antarctica? and Massive ice shelf collapsing off Antarctica.
But as you can see from this Cryosphere chart below, the extent never dropped to less than 1 million square km ABOVE NORMAL during or after the brief event. Currently Antarctic ice extent is running nearly 1 million square kilometers higher than last year at this time. Peak comes at the end of the southern winter (September).

2 barking dogs so far:
But Gore and Hansen said the ice is melting damit. Let's not get confused by observations, the models have spoken. ;^)
All observations validate the belief system known as Climate Change. Drought, flood, heat, cold, average, extreme, all can be interpreted to support this orthodoxy.
In logic this is known as a tautology. Therefore the word of the week is ClimaTautology and its practitioners (their numbers are legion) are ClimaTautologists.
