Nice to see the Arctic getting so much attention now from Steve and Anthony !
I thought it must have disappeared during the period extent/area was a lot less than the normal.
Looking at the cryosphere graph the last time it appeared was April 2010.

Expect it to disappear from view again until 2012 …. :p

NASA says the ice will be gone this summer, mr village idiot.
I foresee a “The Day After Tomorrow” scenario. We are all going to die and it will be Dick Cheney’s fault. Warming causes cooling. Drought causes floods.
“Arctic ice extent hits a seven year high”
Fully consistent with AGW. Meanwhile in Greenland the first lambs are born.
lol
I’m sure I’ll be told that this is a stupid question by why claim a seven year high using a graph that only displays six years?
BTW how is Arctic volume/mass holding up?
Extent was very low in the winter of 2006
..and 2005 – http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/plots/icecover/icecover_current.png
Hmmm…. of course: The warmer it gets, the more that it snows. Therefore, the warmer it gets, the more the ice grows. And it rhymes, so it scores a two-fer.
You seem to be confused (perhaps intentionally) by the school boy physics. The warmer it gets the more moisture there is in the air. The more moisture the heavier the precipitation. That reciprocation will fall as snow if it is cold enough – like in winter!
Hansen’s team predicted increased snowfall over 30 years ago – just a lucky guess?

You are a complete moron Lazarus.
Hansen forecast decreased albedo (less snow cover) and the IPCC forecast decreasing winter snowfall.

http://www.real-science.com/ipcc-milder-winter-temperatures-decrease
Hansen’s et al. paper, ‘Climate Impact of Increasing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide’, from 1981 (that’s over 30 years ago) says;
“if the ocean warms but the air above the ice sheets remains below freezing, the effect could be increased snowfall”
That’s predicting increased snow fall.
I said “Hansen’s team predicted increased snowfall over 30 years ago”, which is evidently correct.
It is also evidently true that you have shown yourself to be at least a step below those you define as complete morons. Well done.
Hansen has predicted everything under the Sun at one time or other, but increased snow depth is not the same as snow at lower latitudes.
Stop using real world data.
The computer models are what counts.
Santa lives!!!
“modelling studies based on our best understanding of ice dynamics indicated the ice cover should fully recover each winter. “They suggest that even if the ice declined a large amount in one year, it should bounce back,” says Walt Meier of the US National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado.”
