Check your premises: Antarctic sea ice has grown to a record large extent for a second straight year, baffling scientists seeking to understand why this ice is expanding rather than shrinking in a warming world.

Baffling “climatologists” who never leave their computer interface.
If reality differs from the output of our computer models,reality is a fault.
Of course the record Antarctic Ice extent, will not be mentioned on CBC.
As if any data of such short duration can be used to establish any useful baseline. Greatest extent ever…. since 1979.
This in climatology is unprecedented.
I only mention this to mock the breathless anxiety over the unshrinking Arctic ice extent this year, soon polar bears will not get to enjoy their late summer nap, as the sea ice of Hudson Bay will be a permanent fixture all summer.
Although the graph shown in the article is from September, sea ice in the antarctic continues to be at record heights. Here is a more recent graph:

And although the arctic sea ice is a bit low (compared to the 30 year average), the TOTAL sea ice is above normal.
I agree with John Robertson (above). It the model is not fitting the real world, it can’t be that good.
reality must be wrong
or did the computer model get “fixed” by the Obumbleshealthcare computer specialists??
I think if my choice was to sit through a winter of -75 C temperatures only to have half the British press trampling all over me, I would also make a break for the exit and plunge into a cold ocean.
I checked my premises. Couldn’t find any global warming here, either.
The First commandment of CAGW :
All cooling is due to natural processe and all warming is due to The Almighty man-made CO2.
The commandment will be maintained no matter how many epicycles are required to make it work. Under no circumstances may a non-CO2 centered universe be considered. Humans stand at the center of climate change. All other explanation are blasphemous and heretical.
very simple. it is getting colder not warmer. scary is it not when up is down.
Every summer it feels like global warming and every winter it feels like global cooling. Funny how that works.
The biggest problem is that the scientists are being paid to not know the difference between summer and winter WEATHER. They also seem to have forgotten about freaky weather events such as typhoons and hurricanes. Hell, let’s toss in a few horrid winter storms, maybe a drought or two and you have some weather patterns that are interesting, but not quite what you might call extinction level events. That will either take an asteroid or an Obama third term … or perhaps a Justin Trudeau victory. oooo …. scary shit.
The warmists efforts to hand the people of earth over to a ruling elite in feudal fashion, not going as well as hoped … funny thing about that old ‘hopey’ thing. It does not come with any guarantees.
“In the Arctic, moreover, you’ve got sea ice decreasing in the summer; at the opposite pole, you’ve got sea ice increasing in the winter.”
I gotsta git me one of them thar PhDs in climeratology.
signaller222 and Ofaycat, yes, I noticed that also.
It never was about global warming. It was and is about sending bigger cheques more often to the various thugocracies around the world threw the sweaty palms of the Fruitfly doctor, Al Goreacle, and the apparatchiks in the UN, and some left over crumbs to the snake oil salesmen in provincial governments.
We are having what Environment Canada calls a “hot dry trend in Western Canada” here in Calgary.
Ah. You mean 30cm of that lovely sand…glad you got it instead of those of us up further north this time.
