Three Decades of Global Sea Ice Cover

by Jack Strange

This graph shows more than twenty-nine years of daily data gathered from satellite imagery and remote sensing. It sums both north and south polar sea ice areas. No models, no scenarios, just data provided by the National Center for Environmental Prediction/NOAA. There’s the regular winter freeze and the summer melt. It looks like a heartbeat, doesn't it? But see if you can spot the catastrophic melting trend that has everyone so alarmed? Look closely. Nope… I don't see it either.
