Arctic sea-ice extent to increase this year, says meteorologist People who tell you that Arctic sea-ice extent is controlled by CO2 are lying, says meteorologist Joe Bastardi. Arctic sea-ice extent is controlled by is the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO), not CO2, says Joe. It’s a cycle, in other words. And because of that cycle, Joe expects Arctic sea-ice extent to increase this year. Why? Because the AMO is making it colder. This also happened in the 1990s when the AMO flipped from warm to cold, says Joe. And around 2020, the AMO will flip permanently to cold. (I’m not sure how long he means when he says “permanently.”) *Antarctic ice extent way* above normal** Meanwhile, Antarctic ice extent is way above normal, Joe adds. No super El Niño? And how about the super El Niño that’s been touted in all the forecasts? Joe thinks it’s all hype. He doesn’t see s super El Niño developing. He thinks the cold Southern Pacific will cut the feet out from under it. It’s a cycle. It’s a cycle. It’s a cycle. And finally, Joe believes that natural cycles in the Pacific Ocean cause our droughts, not CO2. (I’ve been saying for years that humans have nothing to do with it. It’s a cycle. It’s a cycle. It’s a cycle.) Data being manipulated Listen to Joe’s weekly summary (link below). Just after the 14-minute mark you’ll see how the data is being manipulated. Data for previous years has been “adjusted” to make those years appear colder than they really were, while data for more recent years has been “adjusted” to make them appear warmer than they really were. And – presto! – just like magic – you’ve got a phony warming trend. weatherbell.com Thanks to Jack Hydrazine for this link

Arctic sea ice diminishes each summer, mostly by being swept out into the Atlantic. Then new ice forms each winter.

I've also heard that 4 or 5 of our HOTTEST years overall for the earth in the last 200 years have happened in the last decade.

It's a lie. They keep changing historic temperature measurements downward. Look at what James Hansen was saying as recently as 1999:

In 1999, NASA reported the US was in a 70 year cooling trend.

Whither U.S. Climate?

By James Hansen, Reto Ruedy, Jay Glascoe and Makiko Sato — August 1999

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought.

in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country (Figure 2)

NASA GISS: Science Briefs: Whither U.S. Climate?

That story wasn’t scary and wasn’t going to raise any money for NASA, so they massively altered the data to create a warming trend. The 2014 version adds 1.3C/century warming from 1976 to 1998, which didn’t exist 15 years ago.

The thermometer data which NASA uses to generate the temperatures, shows the US cooling over the past 90 years

If you've got some data that supports that the earth in general AND the oceans have not been warming over the last 15 years or so I'd appreciate seeing it.

Climate Depot reported:

According to the RSS satellite data, whose value for April 2014 is just in, the global warming trend in the 17 years 9 months since August 1996 is zero. The 212 months without global warming represents more than half the 423-month satellite data record, which began in January 1979. No one now in high school has lived through global warming.

Key facts about global temperature:
** The RSS satellite dataset shows no global warming at all for 213 months from August 1996 to April 2014. That is more than half the entire 423-month satellite record.
** The fastest centennial warming rate was in Central England from 1663-1762, at 0.9 Cº per century – before the industrial revolution began. It cannot have been our fault.
** The global warming trend since 1900 is equivalent to 0.8 Cº per century. This is well within natural variability and may not have much to do with us.
** The fastest warming trend lasting ten years or more occurred over the 40 years from 1694-1733 in Central England. It was equivalent to 4.3 Cº per century.
** Since 1950, when a human influence on global temperature first became theoretically possible, the global warming trend is equivalent to 1.2 Cº per century.
** The fastest warming rate lasting ten years or more since 1950 occurred over the 33 years from 1974 to 2006. It was equivalent to 2.0 Cº per century.
** In 1990, the IPCC’s mid-range prediction of the near-term warming trend was equivalent to 3.5 Cº per century.
** The global warming trend since 1990, when the IPCC wrote its first report, is equivalent to 1.4 Cº per century – two-fifths of what the IPCC had then predicted.
** In 2013 the IPCC’s new mid-range prediction of the near-term warming trend was for warming at a rate equivalent to 1.7 Cº per century – just half its 1990 prediction.
