I'll give you it Sek the 5 Million'ish Sq Kms of Sea Ice extent has reduced in size by 4375 sq kms over the last 5 days give or take the odd pixel

Citizens of the World we are all doomed, doomed I tell you.

We have a new minima this year of 4,948,438 sq kms slightly larger than the greatest extent of the Roman Empire back when it was warmer in 117 AD


this is around 4.9 million sq kms

Room for the odd polar bear

They are good MD but this takes the biscuit today

From the very same chap

John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, says that the term "global warming" is "a dangerous misnomer” that should be replaced with “global climate disruption."


So that's acronym number 3

First it was Man Made Global Warming which is logical if you are claiming that 389 parts per million CO2 causes the greatest change to the atmospheric temperature in ways not matched in any way whatsoever by changes in the Sun

Then when it started to get colder it was anthropogenic climate change.

Now it's Global Climate Disruption which means in a age of instant mass global media every standard Hurricane, Heatwave, Cold Snap, Drought and Forest Fire is now fair game for eternal hype. Each and every one will all be your fault because you burn fossil fuel to have a bath or a shower in the morning.

In days gone by you would be oblivious to the plight of those around the Globe. But if a tree falls down in a wood and no one see's it does it still make a noise. Yep as it always has done.

Now it's carte blanc for a wall to wall 24/7 rolling disaster movie courtesy of what was it again.... Global Climate Disruption.... which must all be completely anthropogenic of course... just ignore any history to the contrary. It really is far worse than at any other time past I tell you

Oh joy

Global Highlights

* The combined global land and ocean surface temperature for August 2010 was the third warmest on record at 16.2°C (61.2°F), which is 0.60°C (1.08°F) above the 20th century average of 15.6°C (60.1°F). August 1998 is the warmest August on record and 2009 is the second warmest.
* The August worldwide land surface temperature was 0.90°C (1.62°F) above the 20th century average of 13.8°C (56.9°F)—the second warmest August on record, behind 1998.
* The worldwide ocean surface temperature was 0.50°C (0.90°F) above the 20th century average of 16.4°C (61.4°F) and tied with 1997 as the sixth warmest August on record.
* The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for June–August 2010 was the second warmest on record, behind 1998, at 16.2°C (61.3°F), which is 0.64°C (1.15°F) above the 20th century average of 15.6°C (60.1°F).
* The June–August worldwide land surface temperature was 1.00°C (1.80°F) above the 20th century average of 13.8°C (56.9°F)—the warmest June–August on record, surpassing the previous June–August record anomaly of 0.92°C (1.66°F) set in 1998.
* The worldwide ocean surface temperature was 0.51°C (0.92°F) above the 20th century average of 16.4°C (61.5°F) and was the fifth warmest June–August on record.
* For January–August 2010, the global combined land and ocean surface temperature of 14.7°C (58.5°F) tied with 1998 as the warmest January–August period on record. This value is 0.67°C (1.21°F) above the 20th century average.

Think we kindly need to slap on the choke-band ** when the fat lady next year starts singing in June that the good people et al need to calmly wait till September 13... it's down again: 4,892,813 km square

Enjoy the day folks for the bill might be in letterbox tomorrow... and paid it will have to be or your grandchildren will really be living in caves.



PS, ** choke-band per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_(band). As with many wikipedia articles, heath thé for the validity of the content, particular when there is an agenda


Oh, yes, compression and compaction inclusive... when the winds blow from the wrong direction, it's still "recovery" in 2D... estimated remaining cubic km ice left is 4,000... approximately 7,800 cubic km below normal:

funny, seeing this lone post about quantum computing and photons... could tell you something about dual-photon logging in the 80s and what particularly it does to excite certain molecules that are also floating in the air at undesirable quantities, but then I'd be risking to give even a hint of insight into "possibly still" industrial secrets, so I wont. That company who had the smart animation of the overflowing bathtub caught what we're doing collective quite nicely and we've known this and confirmed this as far back as 1950 ;P

Hey David Autumns, that was a "trick" too to tease out a physical property... you know "Mike's Trick" from the stolen emails.

Our summer is never ending... polo and shorts day again down here. 28C and it's only 9:45 AM CEST... solar minimum continuing, in sunspot terms for sure. Some parts of the year it takes just 8 minutes 20 seconds for that light to reach us, but our cycle, for the solarcentric that is, is elliptic, so its for 2 quarters longer and 2 quarters shorter than the average over the course of a year... on the whole it's annualized, translating to ~1361 Watts per square meter on average (SORCE calibration), arriving at top of atmosphere.
