“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. – J Robert Oppenheimer.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Antarctica rapidly jumps all over the place on climatereanalyzer from large +’ve to large -‘ve.
Nothing unusual. Just the nature of the beast.
They say their charts are not models. But then say they are area weighted from averages calculated from … forecasts. Then go on to say “snapshots….as estimated from the Climate Forecast.
So – not a model, just a set of guesses.
Area weighting is a model. It’s not usung the actual data, it’s a model of the data. You can weight it in all sorts of ways that produce very different answers. Most Alarmists don’t seem to understand how virtually all the claims use models of one sort or another.
The wonder of averages combined with anomalies. Much easier to have a huge anamoly that then increases the average somewhere very, very cold! Antarctica cannot be briefly 20-30 degrees above itsxaverage shich has a huge effect on the global average. But the US 20 degrees above average is impossible.
Why does the anomaly colour for 0 -> 32 go from white through shades of orange to blackish to red to orange to white?
The only reason I can think of is to confuse the viewer into thinking it’s hotter than it is
If you look at the chart here it is difficult not to think that the temperatures in Antarctica this year are significantly higher than usual and having a seriously detrimental effect on the sea ice:

Would be interested to hear why I’m wrong.
It’s all to do with ocean currents and weather patterns.
Antarctic sea ice was at record highs as recently as 2014:
