The graph you posted showed only one year (2012) under the 2 std dev line. The average is based on the years 1981-2010. To me this calls into question how meaningful this is. Who knows what is "normal" when you only have data for less than 30 years? I also note that the year outside the 2 std dev area isn't included in the years the std dev's are based on. If it was, presumably the average would be lower and the std dev lines would be wider. Message 29075611 Alarmists have been obsessing over arctic sea ice for a decade now.
