On day 92, Antarctica Sea Ice Extent has been a daily record on 26 days. 92 out of 92 have been in the top 5. Of course the last daily record was only 630 sq km above 2008. Close, but still a record.
The following is all 92 days. A 1 is a daily record, a 2 is 2nd place etc. A . is lower than 9th. There are no . for Antarctica.

This is the extent just for the 92 day of each year.
The Denier Credo
1) The Earth HAD been warming. And it stopped. And it also warmed from 1909 to 1945 and stopped for almost 35 years and cooled some. And it also warmed to about 1878 and also stopped and then cooled.
2) CO2 acts as a green house gas, and the amount of CO2 is increasing, and has increased a lot since 1998 with no effect on temperature
3) If Humans are causing climate change, it is very selective and tends to coincide with the AMO cycle.
4) This small amount of warming will cause fanatical people to squander trillions of dollars trying to prevent the same warming/cooling that has occurred in the past in a similar form to the AMO. This insane response to natural fluctuation is causing net economic harm and increase human suffering by replacing nuclear and coal power with tree burning power plants (which produce way more CO2) and bird chopping wind turbines and filthy rare earth contaminated solar panels.
5) The natural warming after the Little Ice Age is a good thing.
This is a total tragedy caused by environmentalists who are dangerously stupid.
“Power plants that burn wood to produce electricity emit comparatively more pollution than modern coal-fired power plants, according to a group that advocates tougher rules on the growing biomass-power industry.
The issue is relevant in Kentucky because of a proposed wood-burning power plant near Hazard, called ecoPower Generation, the state’s first.
In a study released early Wednesday, the Massachusetts-based Partnership for Policy Integrity said wood-fired plants are not as clean as advocates claim, putting more carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere than coal or natural-gas plants when judged on the ratio of pollution to energy produced.
For example, biomass plants emit nearly 50 percent more carbon dioxide — which traps heat in the atmosphere — per megawatt hour of electricity produced than coal plants, the study concluded. “
“”What emerges from our analysis is a picture of an industry that despite loudly and continually proclaiming itself clean and green, is in many respects still one of the dirtiest corners of the energy industry, an industry where avoidance of pollution restrictions is tolerated, and even encouraged, by state and federal regulators,” the report said.”
Despite industry “standards” that “underestimates hydrochloric acid emissions” the company went ahead and made up their own.
” ecoPower went a step further — that it “invented” its own standards to estimate total emissions of hazardous pollutants. Its level of emissions would have been higher even using the suspect industry standards, the report said”

This really isn’t funny at all.
“Millions of asthmatics unable to breathe as giant cloud of Saharan sand and toxic air covers Britain in layer of smog”
But the greenies like to blame everything on coal. In fact in many countries the major sources of Particulate Matter are in fact dust, agricultural and fires.
But coal is always blamed. The biggest man made source of PM many times is diesel soot. And diesel cars are 50-70% of cars sold in Europe.
Back to the Daily Mail article:
“One sufferer said she felt like she had ‘a baby elephant sitting on my chest’, while another said her lungs felt like they had ‘cobwebs’ inside them.
Even those without health difficulties have been told by experts to reduce outdoor exercise, with air pollution set to hit 10 out of 10 in some areas.”

The IPCC teaches us that Climate Change is everywhere omnipresent.
In every place on earth Climate Change is present.
Climate Change in the Jungles.
Climate Change is in the Arctic.
Climate Change is in the deep oceans.
Climate Change is on the prairie.
Climate Change is on the highest mountain glaciers.
Climate Change is in the Antarctic.
Climate Change is on the sea surface.
Climate Change is in the forests.
Climate Change is in the clouds and the sun and the earthquakes and volcanoes.
Nothing can elude Climate Change.
Climate Change is God.
According the Australian Broadcasting Corporation:
Now that’s a cult for you.
“a warming world is already wreaking havoc”
I was sitting on my neighbors back porch in the sun drinking good coffee and eating fresh baked goods and I thought to myself: “I can’t handle anymore of this havoc being wreaked upon me” and then I realized that if climate change is causing everything, it is also causing nice pleasant warm weather perfect for drinking coffee and relaxing in while fresh baked goods are consumed.
And I do welcome perfect spring days … so I thanked “Climate Change” with a little prayer and asked “Climate Change” to wreak some more havoc. And it did. Yum.
I hate writing about these stories, but people should know whats going on.
“(Washington, D.C., March 28, 2014) American Bird Conservancy, one of the nation’s leading bird conservation organizations, is calling for a detailed reanalysis of a proposed wind power facility in Maryland that could prove to be the single most deadly project for bald eagles in the Americas. The Great Bay Wind Project is proposed to be located in Somerset County, Maryland, near the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. “

The sub headline is: “Proposed Project Outside Washington, DC May Be Biggest Man-Made Killer of Bald Eagles Ever”
Shouldn’t it be: “Washington, DC May Be Biggest Man-Made Killer of Bald Eagles Ever”
Wind Farms have a license to kill.

Antarctic Sea Ice is still a long way to maximum, but as of Day 88, Antarctic Sea Ice Extent for 2014 is the highest ever for the day by 580 sq km.
Looking at the graph of Extent for day 88 only, I can see that when 2008 set its daily record by over 400,000 sq km that it would be a while before it was broken.
