Arctic Ice is a lot larger than the last couple of years and it is still growing. From Watts Up With That:
Strong Arctic sea-ice growth this year
February is not over, and Arctic sea-ice extent is already over half a million square kilometers higher than last year at this day.
The growing season has not ended, and 2019 Arctic sea-ice extent is already higher than the previous four years and six out of the last 14 years.
Javier has a chart and some numbers and concludes with this little gem:
Stay tuned for the March results but the “Arctic melting pause” is alive and kicking 12 years later. It started the year Al Gore said Arctic sea-ice was doomed. Talk about timing.
Heh... Meanwhile, our sun has no spots, has been spotless for 24 days - from Spaceweather:
Spotless Days
Current Stretch: 24 days
2019 total: 38 days (69%)
2018 total: 221 days (61%)
2017 total: 104 days (28%)
2016 total: 32 days (9%)
2015 total: 0 days (0%)
That is a massive decrease.
The title? Tiny Tim of course: The Icecaps are Melting from 1967.
