| | | Melting season for boreal sea-ice for 2016 looks complete. 4.14 million km-sq. Paltry, yes. There might be some final adjustments on the estimate, but it should be the second lowest in satellite era, which isn't terribly surprising...El Nino was strongest since 1998 and Indian Ocean was hot.
I've said many times the oceans dictate global temperatures, and changes in CO2 have very, very little to the global temperatures we truly observe. I say truly, because I refer to satellites and not infected/purported data from NOAA/NCDC. Don't get me wrong, the globe is much warmer than 1950's, of course.
One thing to note is that 2007 had 4.15 million km-sq. That's no significant loss over the past 9 years, and NOAA/NCDC tell us it's been the "hottest" decade ever with the Arctic apparently warming the fastest than anywhere else on Earth, and I'm not even bringing up the Antarctic.
I'll try posting more :) Busy, busy, busy...LOL!
