A pause in minimum Arctic sea ice extent

My guess is that drbob2 is getting his inspiration…

If you care, this is a continuation of a post from the Renewables board two years ago.

Arctic Ice Extent - 2022

There is still about a month to go before the minimum Arctic Ice Extent is recorded. It usually bottoms out in September. However, based on the current trend, this year’s minimum extent will be lower than normal, but not a record low. https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-… This will be the 10th straight year since the all-time minimum of 2012 without setting a new low. I don’t know what it was about 2012, but every year since has had a higher minimum. Pete

It is also something we tracked on a regular basis for many years on the now-disappeared Climate Change board.
" I remember posts by Peter and Loren on the Climate Change board which were projecting “ice free” September conditions (less than a million square kilometers of ice extent) in only a few years."
