Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I got to thinking about sea ice and the climate models. Here’s what we know about polar sea ice extent, showing data that starts with…

... although many other factors may also play a role in the real world.

This year is probably a good year for Svalbard’s polar bears because there is a lot of sea ice here compared to recent years,” he said [The Guardian, 2 April 2024

Cynics might note that taking out the higher totals of 40 years ago and replacing them with the lower recent figures would produce – more or less –  an above average maximum in 2024.

It’s almost like Arctic sea ice extent in winter has almost no relationship with global temperatures!

Winter sea ice in Arctic stable over past 20 years…has even recovered somewhat.

Using the 2023-24 temperature as a reference point, we could even see some cooling in the coming years. These are indeed interesting times in terms of climate dynamics.

Over the last 10 years, Hudson Bay polar bears have morphed from being the “most at risk” across the Arctic to the “least at risk.” Who would have thought?

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I see that the usual gloomy hype about arctic sea ice continues unabated. This has been going on for a while. Here’s the dean of…

by Jim Steele The Arctic Ocean was nick-named the “upside down Ocean” by Fridtjof Nansen. Nansen was a famous Norwegian zoologists, oceanographer, and Arctic explorer as well as winner of…

From the DAILY SCEPTIC BY CHRIS MORRISON Arctic sea ice continued its stonking recovery last month, recording its 24th highest level in the 45-year modern satellite record...

Thus, claims by alarmists attributing rising CO2 to any loss of Arctic sea ice and so-called “Arctic amplification” is not supported by the evidence.

Susan Crockford, a zoologist, discusses the challenges in accurately estimating polar bear populations and the ongoing debate between Inuit communities and polar bear specialists regarding population sizes.

There is mounting evidence that Arctic sea ice is cyclical rather than linear, and owes a great deal to natural influences such as a powerful ocean current called the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO).

Contradictions and failed predictions abound. The post Polar bears and sea ice fail to implode in 2023 as predicted, with special thanks for your support first appeared on Watts Up With That?.
