July 25 2014 – Global Sea Ice Highest On This Day For Last 10 Years
The last time global sea ice was higher than it is on day 205 was way back in 2004. Global Sea Ice Extent is 14,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent July 25 2014 – Obliterates Daily Record By 500,000 sq km
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,131,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
That obliterates the previous daily record by 500,000 sq km. And is also the 127th daily record for the year.
23% of warming in Europe since 1980 due to cleaner air
Cleaner Air = More Sunshine = Warmer
“A paper published today in Geophysical Research Letters finds that clean air laws which greatly reduced sulfur dioxide emissions explain 81% of the “brightening” of sunshine and 23% of the surface warming in Europe since 1980.”

NOAA – 28,504 Low Max Records Set in Last 365 Days
28,504 Low Max Records were set in last 365 days according to the NOAA.
A “Low Max” means that the maximum temperatures for the day was the lowest it has ever been.
This indicates daytime cooling.
Only 13205 High Max records were set. That is over a 2:1 ratio. Brrr.
