People who have strong feelings about something ought to back them up with something. That at least would demonstrate the level of strength behind those feelings. I am not a fool, and I don't intend to put my house up or in fact any money whatsoever, to back what I am going to say here.... Continue Reading →
Southern Oceans Cooling This Year
For the first time in three years a new negative Indian Ocean Dipole is emerging. That's good news for Australian rainfall over the coming Spring and Summer, and for overall climate conditions. I mentioned in my previous climate report that a lower ice build year in the Arctic (which this year was) due to later... Continue Reading →
Arctic Sea Ice – Something Unexpected
I said I wouldn't report further on Arctic sea ice before month end, but something quite unusual, in fact something unprecedented has occurred, which I thought worth noting. Anyone who has been following the Arctic Sea Ice story would know that the picture for over-Winter ice formation in 2025 has been anything more than laggardly,... Continue Reading →
Back to the Arctic
Well, the NSIDC Arctic Sea Ice graph line having now reached the '1Feb' vertical, it is time for me to say something more on the Arctic Sea Ice question. Let's just say that this has not been the best month at year start on record. In fact it is the second only most worst month... Continue Reading →
The World In Fear, While Witnessing The Myth Of Perceived Global Warming

That temperature rise ranging from about the coldest average temperatures Earth has ever seen (at least in the most recent half-billion... Continue Reading →
So, How Is The Arctic Sea Ice Going?
Well, as far as 2024 is concerned, it is gone - the melting, that is - and the ice-building season has begun. But there is nothing new in that. It happens every year around this time. There is only one matter of interest, how low did it go? Well, not as low as last year,... Continue Reading →
The Time Warp is Here
I have waited patiently (or not) for around 3 weeks now, to be given a sight of something I knew had to eventually happen. A virtual close-down of Arctic sea ice melt over the past few days. Now, at last, the time warp is here. Those who have followed my scribblings on this subject for... Continue Reading →
A Brief, Explanatory Visit to Sea Ice
So, since my last report, some - not unanticipated - but unexpected results have occurred. No applecarts have so far been turned over and no matter what goes on during the remaining days of August, none will be. 2024 has decided to take the bit between its teeth, as they say, and become a little...

The Latest on Arctic Sea Ice
We are now at the mid-point of 2024. What do we see? Well, just to set the scene and declare all my cards, a few days into the year I made the prediction that the decade by decade period of annually increasing Arctic sea ice melting has now reached its maximum level during the 2011-2020...
