Chris Martz, the new kid on the “skeptical block”, proudly proclaimed on XTwitter yesterday that:
There’s more sea ice heading into the summer in the Arctic this year than there was in 1989.
That is of course a porky pie:
As you can see, Chris also invokes the age old canard of the “Mark Serreze Arctic sea ice death spiral”. I discussed that very topic with Mark in 2015:
Mark told me that he still stood by his 2030 estimate for the onset of a seasonally ice free Arctic, although: “Most models say more like 2050”.
