Ron Clutz posts a firm response to Tamino’s hit piece the other day:

 

 

Grant Foster and friends are committed to a warmer future and expect Arctic Ice extent to decline.  They are unhappy with me pointing out the lack of decline recently. So my post is off-message, and they are attacking the messenger.  Same old, same old.

 

Summary

Those hoping for an Arctic ice collapse this year are disappointed.  Everything was in their favor: a low March maximum, the Blob melting out Bering Sea early, a negative AO (Arctic Oscillation) with higher insolation most of the summer, and a major cyclone last August when ice edges are most fragile. Despite all that working against the ice, the extent was lower than 5M km2 ( 2014 minimum) for a period of only 28 days. Furthermore, the 12 month averages show extent slightly rising over the last 10 years, with 2015 second only to 2014.

    Someone named Richard made a comment on Ron’s site. My response:

    Richard says, “119 years”

    Now that’s funny.
    In any case, it has melted – in the early 1800s.

    Schoolboy error Ron. Foster Grant (Sorry, Grant Foster, still thinking hot & sunny) doesn’t let anything be posted in his comments, that goes against the teachings of the Holy Church of CAGW.
    If you try & engage with his echo chamber, you get your posts either consigned into oblivion, edited or just held up to abuse, ad homs & ridicule.
