Via Sunshine Hours website: 'The 1st daily record for Antarctic Sea Ice Extent in 2014 was set yesterday on day 15. The old record was from 2008. The old record was broken by 26,500 sq km.'

'One of the famous characteristics of pseudo-science is that it is "unfalsifiable." That is, the theory is constructed in such a way that there is no evidence that could possibly refute it...So if the winter is warm, that's global warming, but if the winter is cold, that's global warming, too. If sea ice is disappearing, that's global warming, but if sea ice is increasing, that's global warming. Now we can see what they mean when the warmthers say that global warming is supported by an ironclad scientific consensus. The theory is so irrefutable that it's unfalsifiable! Which is to say that it has become a cognitive spaghetti bowl full of ad hoc rationalizations, rather than a genuine scientific hypothesis.'

Global sea ice area above normal for 50 consecutive days, since November 20, 2013 

Flashback: UN IPCC 2007 Report: Antarctic Sea Ice Declining

Akademik Shokalskiy and the Xue Long have broken free from the ice in Antarctica and are no longer in need of assistance: 'Well that’s the end of that story…until investigations begin.'

'If Prof Chris Turney had used real world data instead of climate models, he and his team might not have set off on a wild goose chase.'

Turney retracts the claim altogether, sort of: In the Guardian article he writes: 'Let’s be clear. Us becoming locked in ice was not caused by climate change. Instead it seems to have been an aftershock of the arrival of iceberg B09B which triggered a massive reconfiguration of sea ice in the area.'
