from peakoilbarrel.com IIRC, Neven's blog used to say 100K in a day was a big deal in summer, and we're still 3 days from the start of Spring. = Survivalist says: 03/14/2017 AT 5:16 PM Uptick still definitely possible, but we may have passed our annual Arctic sea ice max -> March 6 maximum extent would be a new record low as per JAXA (ADS-NIPR) sea ice extent ads.nipr.ac.jp s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com Survivalist says: 03/16/2017 AT 8:53 PM Looks like the new record low annual maximum is holding. March 6 at 13878287. George Kaplan says: 03/17/2017 AT 4:13 AM Yes, looks like it. Jaxa numbers dropper over 100,000 square kilometres yesterday. Temperatures anomalies are predicted to remain 4 to 5 degrees celsius high for the next two weeks with a couple of big storms possible, both of which would be set up to push ice out the Fram strait. The Sea of Okhotsk, Kara Sea, Hudson Bay and Baffin Bay down to Newfoundland are all due some days above freezing over the next few days. NSIDC (which I think uses a five day running average) and DMI seem to agree with Jaxa. February looks likely to be second warmest on record despite it following the decline of a strong El Nino, and this is being explained because of the polar amplification (at both poles now that warmer air is starting to impact the Antarctic ice). I’ve seen a couple of items that indicated that, of the big climate changes that might occur, loss of Arctic ice is the most likely but least consequential (others include permanent monsoon shift, tropical and boreal forest die back, ENSO amplification, Atlantic THC collapse). If the impact of the Arctic Ice is the least damaging (and we are seeing only the beginnings of it still) then lets hope the probabilities of the others are pretty much zero. Survivalist says: 03/17/2017 AT 11:37 PM Hi George, and down just under another 100G today to 13607502 for the 17th. Down about 210G over last 48 hours. Looks like March 6 2017 IS the new maximum extent record low. youtu.be
