"Between autumn 2010 and 2012, there was a 14% reduction in Arctic sea ice volume, in keeping with the long-term decline in extent. However, we observe 33% and 25% more ice in autumn 2013 and 2014, respectively, relative to the 2010–2012 seasonal mean, which offset earlier losses. This increase was caused by the retention of thick sea ice northwest of Greenland during 2013 which, in turn, was associated with a 5% drop in the number of days on which melting occurred—conditions more typical of the late 1990s. In contrast, springtime Arctic sea ice volume has remained stable. The sharp increase in sea ice volume after just one cool summer suggests that Arctic sea ice may be more resilient than has been previously considered."

A generation or two has to die off before bad ideas go away. That is not because of people like me. I adjust my knowledge according to reality, I'm a true scientist in that regard. Introverts do not do that! They just cannot be wrong! They also dominate our universities and probably science overall, which is why it's known as "science" nowadays LOL

Arctic Sea Ice Rebounded—But the Melting Hasn’t Stopped


Researchers described the finding as a significant aberration, but one that doesn’t change the long-term melting of the Arctic sea ice. Summer Arctic sea ice has declined by about 40% since satellite measurements began in the 1970s. Now, the planet is headed for a “seasonally ice-free Arctic,” according to Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

“It’s not going to be a smooth transition. It’s going to be in fits and starts,” he said. “That’s just the nature of the beast.”

And while the researchers said the anomalies suggest that Arctic sea ice may be “more resilient than has been previously considered,” they were also quick to emphasize that the Arctic is not undergoing a broader recovery. “We don’t want it to be seen as any kind of recovery,” said study author Rachel Tilling, a researcher at University College London. “It really is just one anomalous year.”

Define long-term. 45 years for a planet that's 4.5 billion years old doesn't even qualify as a rounding error. It's just 0. Heck even the presumed 8,000 years of geological data used by the global warming alarmists doesn't even qualify as a rounding error. It's just 0, also.

Looking both ways before you cross the road is similarly brief, in a geological timeframe.

if you were 4.5 billion or even 8000 years old the analogy might be apt.

Ok, try this one: it's cooler here today than yesterday. Therefore summer is over.

*Translation*

The scientific data does not fit the current narrative, therefore we will dismiss it.

And just as irrelevant to anyone or anything else, except the pedestrian and a few drivers for a few seconds, assuming the pedestrian avoids getting himself squashed.

Translation: if it's not a perfectly linear trend, there is no trend.
