7th Highest Global Sea Ice For This Day.
Antarctic 1.4 million above the 1981-2010 mean. That is 23%!
Arctic higher than 2006 and 2007.
Japan … Coal Will Dominate!
To the anti-nuclear pro-Coal activists … THANKS!
“New coal power projects planned for Japan could emit carbon dioxide equal to about a 10th of the country’s total emissions, an environmental group said in a statement Thursday. Japan has 43 coal power projects either under construction or planned, representing combined capacity of 21,200 megawatts “

“Japan now appears set to embrace a dominant role for dirty coal in the country’s energy mix for decades to come.”

Sea Ice Extent – Day 98 – Global Sea Ice Above ‘Normal’ – Antarctica 1.35 million sq km Above ‘Normal’
Sea Ice Extent – A Little Contest
I keep getting spammed by someone claiming to be David Appell (a notorious warmist) saying I should quit publicizing above normal global sea ice and way above normal antarctic sea ice and switch to publicizing arctic sea ice.
So I go to this guys blog and find no mention of global sea ice or antarctic sea ice.
And I check his twitter feed. No mention of antarctic or global sea ice.
And then I try google and look for this term in the NEWS for last week: “antarctic sea ice extent” above normal
And what I get is: No results found for “antarctic sea ice extent” above normal.
If I extend the search back one month I get a Daily Caller post mocking warmists for claiming only Antarctic will be livable in the future..
So my little contest will be: Find multiple examples of major warmist blogs that have a full post about antarctic sea ice or global sea ice in the last week. Half points for posts in the last month.
Add them to the comments.
And If they are valid I will highlight arctic sea ice extent for one day.
Sea Ice Extent – Day 97 – Global Sea Ice Above ‘Normal’ – Antarctica 1.3 million sq km Above ‘Normal’
Sea Ice Extent – Day 95 – Global Sea Ice Above ‘Normal’ – Antarctica 1 million sq km Above ‘Normal’
Conversations that matter – Earth is actually growing greener – Freeman Dyson
“This week’s Conversation that Matters features Princeton University’s preeminent physicist Freeman Dyson who says models do a good job of helping us understand climate but they do a very poor job of predicting it.
Dyson says, “as measured from space, the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide, so it’s increasing agricultural yields, it’s increasing the forests and it’s increasing growth in the biological world and that’s more important and more certain than the effects on climate.”
He acknowledges that human activity has an effect on climate but claims it is much less than is claimed. He stresses the non-climate benefits of carbon are overwhelmingly favourable.”
Well worth watching
What Megadrought? – NOAA – 2014 California Precipitation Was Only 11% Below Normal
According to the NOAA, 2014 precipitation in California was -2.46″ below the 1901-2000 average.
That is Only 11%. What Megadrought? (The real problem is a doubling of population and no big dams built since 1982).
Sea Ice Extent – Day 93 – Global Sea Ice Still Above ‘Normal’ – Antarctica Still 1.1 million sq km Above ‘Normal’
Sea Ice Extent – Day 91 – Antarctica Sets 21st Daily Record of Year – Global Sea Ice Still Above ‘Normal’
Antarctica set a daily record for day 91. The old record was from 2014 and was broken by only 12,000 sq km.
This would be the 21st Daily Record for 2015.
The “streak” just shows the place for each day so for example Jan 1 was 2nd highest, Jan 2 was a record etc :
