Current state of Antarctic Ice Extent for March 2021
Notice the dramatic recovery over the past 4 years and the steady rise +2% over the past 40 years

And the extreme variance since near the end of SC23.

Quite agree missouriboy.
When it fell so low in 2017 there were all sorts of comments about Antartica's dramatic melting
We've heard nothing about its dramatic recovery inside 4 years
How could all that variability be due to CO2

You obviously haven't been listening, Neil.

Hope springs eternal when you are a true believer.  Ignore what you can't explain and what doesn't fit the preconceived pattern.

A tad cool down there

There are several comments from 'William Ward' this is one - they are worth a read

One cannot tax the sun.  No way this explanation would be accepted.  But those longitudinal variances in temperature are impressive.  The basket weavers should be required to explain (in depth) how CO2 can do that.

Look at the May sea ice recovery, over the past two years, down there in Antarctica.
Trend line now almost back to 1% increase per decade

[sigurdur]

You know ice is going against the narrative when you don't hear anything about it.

Wow, that is one very doughnutty southern vortex!!

I think we are gonna take a big bite of that Arctic donut come December.    Wish there were some easily retrieved shots for previous years, same general time frame.  I note Oz and Argentina current weather patterns.
