Sea Ice Extent – Day 85 – Global Sea Ice Above ‘Normal’ By 250,000 sq km

Global Sea Ice is above the 1981-2010 mean.

(I made a slight change in the zoomed in graphs to show more past days)

Sea Ice Extent – Day 85 – Global Sea Ice Above ‘Normal’ – Antarctica Above 2 Standard Deviations

Global Sea Ice is above the 1981-2010 mean.

Antarctica is 2 standard deviations above the mean and has been for the last 10 days – and 49 days in total so far in 2015. In January there were 18 days 3 STD above.

The Arctic is only 98,000 sq km below the ‘maximum’ for 2015 which I called on day 53 (which may still turn out to be wrong). (See bottom graph for last 40 days)

USA Temperatures – Shrinking Population = Cooler / Growing Population = Warmer

A couple of years ago I posted an article about waste heat.

“The waste heat generated by car engines, power plants, home furnaces and other fossil fuel-burning machinery plays an unappreciated role in influencing regional climates, new computer simulations suggest. By altering atmospheric circulation, human-made heat may raise temperatures by as much as 1 degree Celsius during winter in the northernmost parts of the world.”

Compare this map of CRN temperature changes from a WUWT article to the population growth map.

A large part of the US is shrinking population-wise and that part of the USA is cooling.

Sea Ice Extent – Day 79 – Global Sea Ice Above ‘Normal’ – Antarctic 2nd Highest and Approaching Daily Records Again

 

Global Sea Ice is now above the mean.

Antarctic Sea Ice set 20 daily records earlier in the year and it looks like more may be set.
