ASI 2014 update 6: slow times
During the melting season I'm writing (bi-)weekly updates on the current situation with regards to Arctic sea ice (ASI). Central to these updates are the daily Cryosphere Today sea ice area (SIA) and IJIS sea ice extent (SIE) numbers, which I compare to data from the 2005-2013 period (NSIDC has...
Jai, you are right and the USA Olygarchy/Plutocracy is in full swing. Read recent books by Matt Tiabbi and Thomas Piketty, and find out how the super-predator capitalist system is emerging. Not pretty.

Miscellanea
I have collected a couple of interesting news articles and interviews over the past few weeks, and now it's time to share with those of you who haven't seen them. I'm posting what I found the most interesting excerpts, follow the links if you want to read the rest. First up, an interview on Sci...
The biggest problem is the audience questions: inaudible most of the time. Hold the microphone like a rock star, indeed!!

Tomorrow, April 1st, I'll be doing a short presentation on the Sea Ice Prediction Workshop that will be webcast by UCAR. I'll be talking 10-15 minutes about the ASIB, ASIG and ASIF, and about increasing public interest in Arctic sea ice. You can view the webcast here. --- It was always clear ho...
I heard your answers clearly Neven, listening and watching on my computer screen. waiting for the coffee break to end… :-)

Looking for winter weirdness 2014
There has been some stuff in the past 2 months that could be linked to erratic jet stream behaviour - which in turn could be influenced by Arctic sea ice loss - like a series of storms battering Europe's Northwest, such as the St. Jude storm at the end of October, followed in December by Xaver, ...

Perception of the Arctic 2
Like I've written in the previous blog post with the same title, I'm not just interested in the science/ observation of Arctic sea ice and the consequences of its loss, but also in the question how and how far these events are finding their way to the collective consciousness. Are people becomi...
Maybe of interest if anyone has time and the means

Jai Mitchell wrote: "Among them are some of the world's best known 'think tanks': The Competitive Enterprise Institute, the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the Hudson Institute, the Frontiers of Freedom Institute, the Reason Foundation and the Independent Institute, as well as George Mason University's Law and Economics Center."
The "think" tanks share all in common that they are ALL bankrolled by the same billionaires who own Koch Industries: Charles and David Koch, sons of the notorious John Birch Society co-founder Fred Koch, the ultimate Fascist movement that still runs strong in the USA and morphed into the current Tea Party wing that took over most of the Republican Party today. The Koch brothers and their cronies are virtually in control of policy making in many USA states that are in control by the Republicans now.

I cannot be sure but have been alerting the Capital Weather Gang of the WaPo and andrew Revkin of the NYT about the existence of this great blog on several occasions. Hope that helped to spread the impact.

Headline for ASI 2013 - update 6 is perhaps: melting has come to a halt? The CT SIA numbers have been flat for the last 7 days around 4.85..... Or are we in for another little "pop" of flash melt in August?

The Naming of Arctic Cyclones
The Arctic is about to welcome another big cyclone. Though probably not as large, intense and long-lasting as last year's Great Arctic Cyclone, it is rather intruiging to see a cyclone of similar magnitude occur so soon after the last one. It makes one wonder whether the Arctic will be seeing mo...

There's another storm brewing in the Arctic, the second this year after PAC-2013, the persistent Arctic cyclone that stayed in place for weeks on end and caused the first half of the melting season to be very slow. And also the second storm after last year's Great Arctic Cyclone, the iconic im...
2007, 2011 and 2012 converge around Day 211 on CIA, which is 7 days from day 204, and 2013 only needs to drop around 0.6 from 4.85 to 4.25 to join in.

you'd think that we as Dutch people living below sea level would take notice, ha! I will send my family still in the Netherlands a link of your superb blog, and hope they spread it.

Perception of the Arctic
There was a time, not too long ago, when I didn't know the Arctic existed. Sure, I knew there was a North Pole and that it was cold there, but somehow I always thought that the Arctic and the Antarctic were the same thing, that someone had forgotten to add the Ant-. And of course, polar bears ...

Shell drill spill?
It all sounds so simple: Arctic sea ice is retreating, so let's get over there and start some off-shore drilling! Unfortunately the Arctic isn't a friendly place, not to humans and not to oil executives. Commenter Lodger links to this ominous news article about the Kulluk, "a $290 million off...
