Good news for the rowers, there is a dipole projected for the Arctic that will open up basin wide sunny skies and cause a huge solar influx.
On the other hand, that is very very bad news for the ice.
Key word: BLOWTORCH

ROFLMAO – they aren’t going anywhere. Their start point is blocked with 90-100% concentration ice for many hundreds of miles.
I understand they are gonna have a white wedding up there now that it is legal for them to do so. I hope to see some photos of the happy couples.
What’s your point?
They are leaving Vancouver today and it will take 5 days to reach Inuvik NWT. It will take them 2 days to row from Inuvik to the ocean. Do you honestly believe there is going to be 90 percent ice concentration 7 days from now?
I want some of what you are smoking!
They’re due to depart July 1st via their declaration. They plan on a 75 day global warming awareness adventure and look like complete assholes.
In 75 days from their departure, they’ll be in deep shit and freezing you crackhead:)
Kevin Vallely was on AM Canada this morning and told the interviewer that they were leaving later today.
Steve, what’s with all the name calling?
Some of us who stayed away from politics have decided we need to adopt, perfect and capitalize upon the rules for radicals to at least make an attempt to save our Great Nation from being flushed down the toilet by the progressives!
Congratulations on the decision, how is it relative to the current discussion regarding Arctic ice?
‘Just Having Fun” , wouldn’t you know…
Maybe it’ll only be 88% ice coverage:)

Any comment on the projected Arctic dipole, or the near record high temperatures on the south coast of the Beaufort sea.
What’s your opinion regarding the persistent Arctic cyclone that badly fractured all the first year ice?
Why are you so desperate for low Arctic ice?
NCEP forecasts below 5C in the Beaufort Sea this week

You live in a fantasy world.
I personally believe that the last three decades decline of sea ice is a tragedy, what makes you think I am happy that the ice is in disappearing?
Steve, why didn’t you answer the question I asked last night?
When it is hot along the coast and the wind is blowing offshore, where does all the heat go? It’s a physics question, I know that you are well qualified to give an answer.
Hint: It is 5 degrees warmer at the surface of the ice this week, (your link) than it was last week and is projected to be even warmer over the ice next week. You can’t argue the fact that your links clearly indicate that is the case.
I have another question, do you believe all that sunshine in the forecast combined with 5 degree C temp can’t melt ice?
Beaufort Sea forecast is winds blowing from the NE
Reggie, can you explain to me exactly “why” a decline in Arctic ice over the past few decades is such a “tragedy” ? Can you explain to me exactly what difference it has made, to anything?
Steve ,
Does “below 5C” mean a positive number like +3C or +4C?
Nice dodge Steve, they weren’t last night when I asked that question last night
I understand why you are reluctant to answer that question
Do you believe all that sunshine in the forecast, combined with 5 degree C temp can’t melt badly fractured first year sea ice? What’s the melting point of FYI?
I just posted this on their facebook page
“Environment Canada shows 95% ice concentration in the western Arctic, third highest on record. The eastern Beaufort Sea is jammed with multi-year ice. You might want to consider a different vacation this summer.”
You keep running away from reality, why are you afraid the answer my questions. That’s a rhetorical question, I already know the answer
So now you are going to troll them, have you no shame?
Someone needs to tell these guys the truth, because they have obviously been manipulated by scumbag progressives.
Reality is that they are going to arrive and be shocked about how stupid this expedition is.
Reggie, seriously, you believe that a little sunshine is going to melt all that ice? OMG .. who is it that needs a dose of reality again? WOW, just WOW
Yes, I have reality and physics on my side, all you have is your perverse faith in the climate denier’s religion.
.
Reg, you haven’t the first fricken clue what physics is … ROFLMAO …
If you are wrong, will you be man enough to give the a sincere apology?
BTW, i played on the google this morning and checked out you past projections regarding ice, the one you made when you used to be able to blog at WUWT.
Now I understand your anger and why you refuse to give an estimate for sea ice minimum.
If its any consolation, you were nowhere near as clueless as former TV weatherman Joe Bastadi They ought to call him left field Joe
The devastation is overwhelming:

It’s going to be 19 degrees below the normal daytime high in the Chicago area tomorrow. We could sure use some of that Arctic blow torch. lol
Global Weirding
Ice neurosis, it’s the new abnormal.
Yep. It’s replaced solar eclipses.
Reggie says: “…you think I am happy that the ice is in disappearing?”
I don’t mind my ice disappearing when I am sipping my JD.
I still would like to know what the hell difference it makes. What has it changed? What will it change? Obviously polar bears don’t seem to mind. So what exactly is the “tragedy” here? … let it all melt … so fricken what?
Squid,
You are so right on. Who cares? So what? effing ice. Really.
Winter will come again to the arctic with it the ice, darkness, and cold.
gregole,
At least two things will happen that should be of concern (1) More open ocean for longer periods of time in the northern summer will mean more solar radiation absorbed — a lot more as water is a world class solar radiation absorber and (2) the temperature difference between the Arctic and the tropics will become less which will weaken the jet stream which will cause more of the crazy type of weather we have in North America at the moment.
which will cause more of the crazy type of weather we have in North America at the moment.

Laz, it’s only half a degree….
Gregole – your comment is typical of that point in the conversation when you’ve basically conceded the point under discussion. Rather than face that directly, the goal posts move. Nice.
1 – Sea ice is changing in a way (speed of decline) that is not natural. This is a sign of AGW. Believe it or not, there are still some folks out there who prefer not believe that AGW exists.
2 – There does seem to be a connection between the Arctic and the jet stream, and there certainly is a connection between the jet stream and the weather. There is a connection between the weather and your taxes. ‘Nuff said.
HAhaha…hahaha….hahahaha [breath] .. hahaha .hahaha
@T.O.O – BULLSHIT!
@David – You’re an idiot
Both of you are quite the comedic relief however. Thanks for that! … ROLFMAO
no David, sea ice is not changing at all

“1 – Sea ice is changing in a way (speed of decline) that is not natural.”
Bullshit David! There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING unusual or unprecedented about sea ice.
Nada.
Zippo.
It is all well within the bounds of natural variability, and the fact that you said otherwise means that you are dishonest, stupid, or both.
And they wonder why we point and laugh as we call their name, Chicken Little! 😆
Look out for they acorn little buddy! 😆
Reggie sounds unaware that the Arctic was often ice free in the summers in the Early Holocene. Of course that was when ice melt was significant and Arctic waters were 16 degreesC warmer in summer than today. Reggie reminds me of these clowns.
I wonder if they’ve had background checks for those shotguns they are carrying. I wish them luck on their religious pilgrimage to the promised land. Of course they’d have better luck rowing the Mediterranean from Spain to Syria.
Arrgh.. what eco loons. Bet they got there in their fossil fuelled SUV’s. Reckon Reggie, sponsored by Brawndo, sponsored by Kevin Vallely doesn’t know who he’s supporting just so he can feel morally superior.
In the 70’s, they were trying to figure out ways to melt it.
They’ve made it to Chilliwick. Go Team!!
Lil’ Reggie (aka “Mikey Mann’s Lame Sock Puppet”), would you mind explaining, without of equivocation, evasion or prevarication, precisely how that 1.5-2.5-mile-thick sheet of ice covering at least 1/3 of the Northern Hemisphere was able to melt away in the blink of a geological eye a few thousand years ago, without the help of our Eeeeeeeeevil SUV’s o’ Doom</strong? Anything other than an immediate, non-obfuscating answer will immediately render you persona non grata.
Milankovitch cycles
Prove the current melt is not a natural cycle Chicken Little! 😆
What a pathetic whiny fool!
