Sea Ice News #18

WUWT
"Summer has come to a premature and frosty end at Santa’s workshop.It has been the coldest summer on record north of 80N, and temperatures have dropped below freezing ahead of the average date.The entire ice covered region is now below freezing.It also appears that the summer melt season will be the shortest on record. The maximum was reached very late in March, and it appears likely that we are headed for an early minimum. ....Conclusions:

The “long term trend” (30 years) in Arctic ice continues to be downwards, and would be even if the ice minimum was a record high this summer. But the three year trend shows strong growth of extent, thickness and age. Meanwhile, Antarctic ice is blowing away the record books. Yet the press continues to spread massive disinformation about the state of ice at both poles. Who could possibly be responsible for that? "
