But no need to get all denialist about it, the IPCC assures us that they have located the missing heat at the bottom of the oceans.
Translated by Google from this press release in German at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany:
Never so much sea ice at Antarctica in the last 30 years
In light of global warming, it seems paradoxical that the sea ice cover of the Southern Ocean has covered a larger area in the past month than in the last decades. Only in the mid-70s was observed a similar expansion.
- Average sea ice extent in September (1973-2013) with trend line
- Seasonal variability of sea ice extent (as at 13.10.2013)
The means were 19.48 million in September 2013 square kilometers, an area once covered more than 50 times larger than Germany with sea ice. The absolute maximum of 19.65 million square kilometers was reached on 18 of September. Although this maximum in the ice-covered surface can not be equated with a maximum of the total volume or mass, suggest that sea ice physicist…
