Arctic sea ice at the summer solstice: more polar bear habitat than 2022 after hottest year on record
Posted on June 25, 2024 

We are just into the 2024 sea ice melt season in the Arctic with no signs of any big, dramatic changes despite claims that 2023 was the warmest year on record (since 1850). There is still abundant sea ice habitat for polar bears ahead of the summer months (July-September) when Arctic ice melts back considerably.


Polar bears in Western Hudson Bay are still on the ice despite vast open water levels normally signaling “breakup” has happened: the wind-driven ice is packed tight against the western shore and the bears are still on it.

Arctic sea ice overview

In 2024, sea ice extent at 21 June was estimated at 10.5 mkm2:


Compare the above to 2022 (below), when it wasn’t the “hottest year on record,” and ice extent was 10.4 mkm2:

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

So, what's the big deal?  Global warming terrorists claim that the warming creates cold temperatures so its only natural there should be more ice after the "warmest year" ever. *****rollingeyes*****
