That is what happens with the current continental placement. Will higher CO2 prevent that from happening??

It looks like we are finally going to get some north blowing winds through the bearing strait next week. Rest of the arctic seems to remain cold with also the baltic cooling down quite a bit. So it looks like melt season is not close to starting yet. With the bearing strait in such low ice conditions a week of cold could freeze a lot of water down there.

Has China stopped burning coal these days or is it now 'clean' coal devoid of sulphates and particulates? Th uK ( at least) had been supplying 'scrubbing' technology to the Chinese along with our expertise in construction. Unlike the West , who had to develop such kit, the chinese are able to buy it off the shelf ( nick the plans and make their own) but obviously were not that serious about it all until Beijing stopped seeing the sun over winter and tens of thousands of folk began dying via resp. conditions...... The Chinese have also clocked that if you build kit that then turns wind/sun/waves into the electricity you're after you don't have to pay the coal man every week........ and they like that!

Yet they are not smart enough to work out that there is no EROI in windmills? Or perhaps they are which is why they are _still_ commissioning a new coal powered generation station every 10 days or so. In 2030 the Chinese expect to switch to another power generation system - "China’s Research Into Thorium Will Have Implications for Nuclear Energy In the United States"www.environmentalleader.com/2016/08/chinas-research-into-thorium-will-have-implications-for-nuclear-energy-in-the-united-states/

A polite comment on the idea that rain might be effecting Greenland ice in the winter is "farfetched".
Most of Greenland stays in the -30ish range for most of the winter.
When I was at school rain froze quite happily at -1degC, not to mention all that bulk deep frozen snow/ice ..... Anything trickling onto that will freeze pretty quickly.

There have been dramatic changes made to the science since you were a boy, Doug. :

Arctic extent makes a new high for the year. Today its only the 9th smallest on record for this day. Antarctic extent is only nudging upwards slowly. After making the 7th lowest summer minimum it is now printing the 2nd lowest extent in history for this day.

Worst in living memory is not a good measure wrt climate.

Which is strange considering how hot the anomaly maps seem to show the Arctic - as quoted by Grey Wolf above. And there is all that snow in Seattle and extra snow in the Rockies amazing considering how warm that map is. Someone is adjusting - I tend to trust DMI
