Can't quite understand the comments from wdmn and off the grid.
Simply reported on an updated report from a reputable source
Thought readers might be interested in their findings.
Reading that article it looks quite poor in many aspects and leaves out several key aspects of this melting season.
I did not reply first to not brake loose back and forth bickering but since you insist I recommend to at least consider other sources as well and then the 30+ forecasters are easily outnumbered and overvoted in this forum alone which, as I believe, is a reputable source as well
Also keep in mind that a few special characters who disappeared from this place recently are suspected to be back under a new nickname and looking at the number of posts etc. would at least raise the question.
Last but not least we cannot predict with certainty that a stall and/or early minimum cannot happen but at the moment all signs hint at another outcome than that.
Either way a 4.3M km2 outcome is a bit extreme even considering the possibility. 4M km2 and below is as certain as it can get IMO.
