Guest post by David Middleton Anthony recently posted an excellent Arctic sea ice analysis by Ron Clutz.  In a similar vein, I decided to look at Arctic sea ice from a couple of other dis-alarming perspectives. We keep hearing...

Yesterday, I pointed out that despite predictions of an “ice-free summer” in the Arctic by now, Arctic sea ice continues to defy such predictions and ended the 2018 melt season higher that the lowest years of...

Greg Goodman writes in to WUWT tips and notes: Arctic sea ice minimum – this years 19/20th Sept at 4.594 million sq/km Source: http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-ice-graph/ Not surprising that...

This year’s Arctic sea ice minimum is just a few days away, but it isn’t going to be a new record low, in fact, it’s likely to come in within 2 standard deviations By  Harry Wilkinson Arctic sea ice is...

Next month, NASA will launch into space the most advanced laser instrument of its kind, beginning a mission to measure – in unprecedented detail – changes in the heights of Earth’s polar ice...

The oldest and thickest sea ice in the Arctic zone north of Greenland is splitting in a never-before-seen event. The waters found there are so cold, they have been frozen for as long as records exist — even during summer...

Life on planet Earth is struggling through an historically challenging era, thanks in no small part to the actions of our species. Some scientists have proposed labeling this period as the Anthropocene epoch due to the outsize...

Arctic sea ice is low, with the Bering Sea's ice extent "the lowest recorded since at least 1979," according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC)...

Can you identify the holes in the sea ice pictured above? If so, let NASA know. They recently posted the image, snapped over the Beaufort Sea, as the April 2018 Puzzler on their "Earth Matters" blog. They aren't quite sure...

Let this go down as a prime example of Big Meaningless Numbers used to scare you:

From NASA Goddard: Sea ice in the Arctic grew to its annual maximum extent last week, and joined 2015, 2016 and 2017 as the four lowest maximum extents on record, according to scientists at the NASA-supported National Snow...

In the far North Atlantic, scientists have uncovered new evidence that an unusual infusion of freshwater into the ocean may already be affecting the ocean's circulation...

The overly excitable director of that National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) is at it again. Previously, we’ve heard him declare “death spiral” and “the Arctic is screaming” to convey his...

A recent bout of extreme warm weather in the far north Arctic Circle is setting new temperature records and unnerving climate scientists. "To have zero degrees [Celsius] at the North Pole in February - it's just wrong,"...
