Arctic ice lingers, upsets chart

 


This was the chart that I dug up and then the popular press made a big hash of it.  They could not have found this chart on their own.  Anyway, this chart has serious problems in the way it handles frozen ocean.  It just cuts of the ice.  As the ice gets bigger, the chart has less ocean surface area to integrate.


So, we need some confirmation there is something going on with the ice, and here it is.  The ice volume is increasing, when it should be decreasing.  This is enough to upset the applecart, since it is a 'divide by zero' issue.  Anyway, the chart should be taking a big dive now, and nobody will report it.
