A teaser for our forthcoming interview with NSIDC director Mark Serreze.

While we're at it we also "out" Anthony Watts as a compulsive liar!

Not too far off topic, Gavin Schmidt reports on Twitter regarding his long running legal battle:

I now have the bit firmly between my teeth, and I discover this morning that The Economist seems to be turning into a tabloid:

http://www.economist.com/news/international/21641240-hype-over-arctic-recedes-along-summer-ice-not-so-cool

Quote
Please forgive my rather brusque manner, but I arrive fresh from hauling the Mail on Sunday in front of IPSO.

Can The Economist provide some evidence for their rather vague assertion that "less [Arctic] sea ice melted last summer than in 2013". Can you for example provide a link to an authoritative source?

Unfortunately [the article] is misleading and/or inaccurate, apart from the bit about the long term trend in Arctic sea ice.

Shock News!!! After much gentle persuasion WUWT's issued an "update" to the scurrilous smear on Mark Serreze's reputation they published recently:

http://GreatWhiteCon.info/2015/01/mark-serreze-and-the-arctic-sea-ice-death-spiral/#Feb01

It seems it was NASA wott dun it, not the NSIDC. Many questions remain unanswered still however. Such as why did Watts blame NASA for the "summer sea ice may be gone in five years" statement in 2012, but then the NSIDC in 2015?

You may or may not have seen this Jim; friend Watts has been at it again distorting a new science paper providing a anti anthropogenic climate change meaning.
One of the authors set him right.

I was desperately disappointed to discover that The Economist has neglected to print my virtual letter to their editor (and their "man in Tromso"). I have therefore taken the liberty of self-publishing it. See if you can find it with the aid of the Great God Google:

I just got back from a spirited debate at Exeter University which pitted Kevin Anderson of the Tyndall Centre against Richard Betts from the Met Office on the proposition that "This house believes we have forgotten about climate change".

Richard gave a rousing closing speech which amongst other things roundly denounced Christopher Booker's article in last weekend's Sunday Telegraph. I mentioned to Richard that we are already on that case:

"A Letter to the Editor of the Sunday Telegraph"

Kasia (my better half) and I voted for Kevin, but the majority of the assembled multitude of students went for Richard. Thus the proposition was rejected.

Christopher Booker's latest play in the “ClimateGate 2″ edition of ClimateBall™ appears in his article in this morning’s edition of the Sunday Telegraph, ably assisted by BBC Radio 4's so called "review of the morning papers" at 7 AM.

http://GreatWhiteCon.info/2015/02/the-greatest-scandal-in-the-history-of-science/

It seems that both Booker and Telegraph editor Ian Marsden are utterly incapable of understanding climate science, even when compelling video evidence is placed on a plate right under their respective noses.

Jim

We all know where Booker is coming from and it's no surprise that the Telegraph gives him a bully pulpit to preach from.

But like you I'm sure, I almost choked on my morning cup of tea when the BBC's review of the papers gave this ageing and bigoted non-scientist's views credibility he just doesn't deserve.

I despair when the main stream media in the UK feel they need to use Booker, Monckton or even Nigel Lawson to bring "balance" to what they insist on characterising as a debate about the very existence of anthropogenic climate change.

Only the Guardian has reliably nailed it's flag to the mast and, until others follow suit, it's difficult to see public opinion reaching an realistic understanding of the importance of the challenges we face.

With our current crop of weak political leaders seemingly incapable of doing more than determining policy by focus group I can see no way that the UK is going to have any positive impact on the outcome in Paris later this year.

The surf was up again in SW England this weekend. This interview with the guy parked next to us took an interesting turn when he eventually mentioned "North Cape"!



He also seemed highly amused at the prospect of Rose, Booker and Neil hitting some Arctic surf clad only in Polar Bear suits!

The Mail is not the only  place for getting complete nonsense. Australia's least informed environment writer, Graham Lloyd of the Australian reported on Saturday that there is a "new climate change 'pause' as Arctic melt stabilises".

"Melting Arctic sea ice, a keenly watched measure of global climate change, has "paused", sharpening debate on whether humans or natural variability are to blame for the earlier decline.

After shrinking 35 percent  over several decades, the low point reached in Arctic ice cover appears to have stabilized. This is despite a record low maximum sea ice extent this winter ...


Scientists who first identified the "hiatus" in global average surface temperatures are claiming a new climate change "pause. { Hang on Graham didn't you just  tell us this was a fact,  in paragraph 1, now its just a "claim"}

 Skip forward 3 paragraphs of drivel to "Climate scientists do not believe the long term downward trend  in Arctic Sea ice has been broken". { So its not a fact Graham, not the view of Climate scientists, just  the view of some deniers }

{Skip through 9  paragraphs presenting the unscientific opinions of David Whitehouse of the GWPF, a denialist think tank, to the last paragraph}

The US National  snow and Ice data centre said this years Arctic sea ice extent had reached a maximum 14.54 M km^2 making it the lowest on the satellite record.

Who said Graham doesn't tell us the truth. All you have to do is read the last paragraph and ignore the rest.  Unfortunately the last paragraph rarely makes it to the online edition, but we can blame Graham for that! 
Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore

Somewhat belatedly, our singular perspective on IPSO's recent rejection of Bob Ward's complaint about David Rose's Arctic sea ice article last summer. The next episode of the David and Judy show:

http://GreatWhiteCon.info/2015/04/ipso-powerless-to-prevent-the-great-white-con/

Despite recently bringing her attention to the matter once again Professor Judith Curry’s personal blog still contains the inaccurate and/or misleading information first published by the Mail on Sunday on September 8th 2013 in an article by David Rose. What sort of “very distinguished scientist and ice expert” would continue to proudly proclaim the following inaccurate information after even the Mail on Sunday had retracted it?

I've spent the day happily commenting away at Breitbart. Then the ad homs started.

Quote
More arrant nonsense from a scientifically illiterate troll?

Go away you silly little man.

Then I was "reported"! Then all but one of my witty comments disappeared.

Thus far I've had no confirmed takers for the other side of my £1000 Arctic sea ice wager. James Delingpole is conspicuous only by his absence, so who should I approach next? David Rose? Christopher Booker? Anthony Watts?

It has been brought to my attention that Big Joe Bastardi has been "retweeting" nonsense from "Steve Goddard" to the effect that:

Quote
Two decades of unprecedented melting has left Arctic sea ice almost identical to 20 years ago

As luck would have it "Snow White" got her retaliation in early on this one:

which leads in nicely to this:

"Steve/Tony" is now claiming that "Arctic sea ice coverage is nearly identical to 20 years ago"

"Snow White" begs to differ, since the NSIDC 5 day average Arctic sea ice extent has fallen below 12 million km² in May for the first time since their records began:

I spoke to a member of the CFSv2 at EGU2015 and he told me that there is a problem with their model in that it starts out with too thick ice. They're working on using PIOMAS to constrain this initial ice condition. Bastardi doesn't know this, and if he would, he wouldn't tell anyone.

I thought "Little Joe" Bastardi got out of the Arctic ice forecasting business when he fell flat on his face in 2010/20111?

Aren't video clips wonderful?


I wish I had saved more of those videos to put on Youtube, they have all been taken offline.  ;D

I can't imagine what "Caleb" over at (un)Real Science has been up to recently, but whatever it is it seems to have given him snow blindness:

I call it the "North Carolina" methodology.  When the state representatives in NC didn't like the outcome of a study on sea level rise in coming decades......they ignored it.

Apparently that is what Caleb is doing.  If they don't like it....they just try to "wish it away."

This morning "Snow White" and I find ourselves asking:

What Planet is Tony Heller On?

It seems he can't spot the difference. Can you?

Come September 1st....maybe a 9/1/1995 vs 9/1/2015 will help him "see" the difference.

It is amusing that he used 6/1 comparisons.....BEFORE the three wost ice melt months of June, July and August.  I'm sure that was just a coincidence though, and didn't have anything to do with portraying a false narrative..:)

You haven't been following closely enough Buddy! He's also used 5/27 & 5/25 recently. Just coincidence!

Shock news!!!

Tony posted yet another Arctic article today. I felt compelled to quibble yet again. Tony tells me I made a "good point"!

Tony Heller has been telling fairy tales about Snow White's second favourite subject. She was compelled by some strange magical force to do her own due diligence on northern hemisphere snow cover:

Alaska May Snow Cover At Record Low Levels

She found this flapping around in the cold wind blowing across the floor of the Rutgers Global Snow Lab:

Your comment to that effect at "Real Science" has finally emerged from Steve/Tony's "moderation" queue!

The Daily Mail's up to its old tricks again today!

No doubt "Snow White" will pen a blog post in due course, but for now here's "her" latest tweet:

https://twitter.com/GreatWhiteCon/status/623784781940174848

and here's the archive:

which fails to reveal "her" strangely absent comment:

There's no rest for the wicked today. David Rose is up to his old tricks once again, this time in The Spectator concerning the "hiatus". Archived at:

https://archive.is/e5XHu

At least my comment seems to be visible over there, for the moment at least!  Meanwhile over on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/GreatWhiteCon/status/623855417832161280

I thought "Snow White" was "blocked" by Mr. Rose, but perhaps now "she" is merely "muted"?

Maybe if everybody suggests another time in the last decade when the "northern ice cap" was "bigger" than now.
But then the stuff floating around in the arctic ocean isn't actually an ice cap so this bizarre diatribe is talking about something entirely different.  ;D
