Arctic ice loss report: Feb 22nd 1940

Real Climate Science

Six degrees warming in the Arctic from 1900-1940, and the ice was the same thickness (two metres) as it is today.

    Sorry, but according to skepticalscience that headline can’t possibly be right ;-):

    I found this paper from 2003 Matched sea ice extents from 1972/3 through
    2002.

    GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS, VOL. 30, NO. 18, 1970, doi:10.1029/2003GL018031, 2003

    “30-Year satellite record reveals contrasting Arctic and
    Antarctic decadal sea ice variability ”

    “The largest variability for both hemispheres is the
    seasonal cycle (Figure 1). In the Arctic the trend line
    shows an overall decrease in sea ice extent during the
    31-year period.”     “The reason these extreme anomalies occur in successive
    years is uncertain, but may be related to the large interannual variability in the number of Arctic cyclones [e.g., Maslanik et al., 1996].”
