I am soooooo surprised. The ice is going to melt. Gosh, it has melted during previous interglacials. Why is this so surprising that it will melt again??? www.enn.com/climate/article/48916

Tell them that THIS interglacial is different, this one is human caused. The humans must pay.

On the way down again? Never really recovered from the Mid summer slump did it? Are we to see the Antarctic mimic the Arctic and begin melt season very early this year?
The energy this Nino is placing into the Pacific has resulted in plenty of storms over the N.Pacific this year ( remember the 3 cat 4's spinning out in Aug?) so will we see this translate into a busy typhoon season this year? What will that do to melt season across the Antarctic?

arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/antarctic.sea.ice.interactive.htmlWOW ! I'm amazed that you guys appear so predictable? Had this been attacking the top line all season we'd have had a number of you popping up and declaring to the world but when we see the opposite, which has to be just as interesting?? , we have an abandoned thread? Drivers. The obvious has to be to flag up El Nino? but then are we beginning to see a longer term impactor making its presence known? We know that the models show a rapid winter retreat of Sea ice around the continent as we move on toward the 2050's so are we seeing this change taking place? The other 'possible' is the 'flip' of the Pacific drivers positive ( PDO/IPO) is someway involved in 'flipping' conditions that had, whilst those cycles where in their 'cool phase', driven the slow increases in winter extent? If so then we ought to expect a resumption in 1970's ice levels and retreat in extent? EDIT: Just stripped back the plots and found today's plot to be second lowest!!!!

The microwave sounders obviously need re-calibration. Simple explanation.

yep it's the same as happened with the arctic .. jet stream move outwards dragged in loads of warm air then an early melt started .. which will get rid of that so called "El Nino" all that cold pushing thru the pacific is only the start ..
the same happened in the atlantic .. just don't get to excited you will start to cry with what happens next .. ie: a year or two down the line ..

The Chinese and Japanese fishing fleets are already on the horizon.

The Chinese and Japanese fishing fleets are already on the horizon. Those fleets are going to get stuck in the CO2 sink.
