Articles like this one would have you believe that Arctic sea ice is melting faster than ever. And it just makes sense, since, as we all know, the End Is Near.
Unfortunately, however (I guess I mean "fortunately," since the End Not being Near is a good thing thing, at least for some of us), it looks like 2009 is not going to be the biggest Arctic ice melt, at least not unless there's a big huge melt over the next three days, at which point scientists expect it to bottom out. And by 'scientists' I mean all of them. Every single, solitary one of them.
After all, that's what we mean by 'scientists' when we say "scientists say," right? It's sort of like saying "Wall Street," which means every measly little broker on the floor.
Above is Anthony Watt's graph showing ice melt from 2002 to 2009:
And if that's to small for you to tell the difference, below that is Watts' close-up of where we are as of yesterday. It turns out that in 2008 there was less ice melt than 2007, and, barring the End coming in the next several days, 2009 will have less ice melt than 2008.
I'm sure you'll read about it on all the Global Warming alarmist blogs (Not).
