Thankfully these crazy predictions of 2.5million are now gone. Looks like a stall will mean we finish in the pack. Though probably whether we come 2nd or 3rd will be the only question. Think 2019 and 2020 will be very close at the end despite everything. Hopefully August will be a boring month for the ice.
So you expect the endless torching over the CAA and Eastern CAB to not keep melting the ice?? Which is already showing up on modis when the clouds clear out filled with holes...
What do you think this 972MB vortex puking out rain all over the Beaufort, Chuckchi, and Western CAB in concert with 20-30KT winds over 36-48 hours is going to do to ice that is truly 50-60 percent Concentration with MILES of OPEN WATER between the DECIMATED CHUNKS of ice?
And when that system winds down we still have another 40 days of ice loss to go.
You literally call predictions for new record lows crazy while giving no evidence to back up your new prediction of 2nd or 3rd lowest. I assume you are talking about extent.
Well you did cite a few days of slower losses while winds are in the reverse dipole position. Which hasn't stopped melting. Just compaction.
I'm not trying to be a dick but people post here putting huge effort and time backing there opinions and thoughts with great depth and thoughtfulnes and you dismiss that as crazy while offering no empirical evidence.
I guess you have historical precidence on your side. It would be nice if you would back up why you think 2020 is probably going to end up tied with or below 2019.
You may be right. But it's pretty cheap to call the incredible analysis that dozens of members here contribute as crazy and then not actually offer any substance to back youe position. Please no hard feelings. Have a good night/day
