Antarctica sets new record for sea ice area (http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/06/29/antarctica-sets-new-record-for-sea-ice-area/) Posted on June 29, 2014 (http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/06/29/antarctica-sets-new-record-for-sea-ice-area/) by Anthony Watts (http://wattsupwiththat.com/author/wattsupwiththat/)

The sea ice surrounding Antarctica, which, as I reported in my book (http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/06/29/antarctica-sets-new-record-for-sea-ice-area/www.amazon.com/Dont-Sell-Your-Coat-Surprising/dp/0615569048/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&tag=wattsupwithth-20&qid=1404053095&sr=1-1&keywords=Don%27t+sell+your+coat), has been steadily increasing throughout the period of satellite measurement that began in 1979, has hit a new all-time record high for areal coverage.
The new record anomaly for Southern Hemisphere sea ice, the ice encircling the southernmost continent, is 2.074 million square kilometers and was posted for the first time by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s The Cryosphere Today (http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/) early Sunday morning.

The previous record anomaly for Southern Hemisphere sea ice area was 1.840 million square kilometers and occurred on December 20, 2007.
Global sea ice area, as of Sunday morning, stood at 1.005 million square kilometers above average.

Appears 2008 Lehman brothers collapse was the trend changer.

Wow, their mouthpiece Al Gore lied.

Big surprise, huge.

RSS shows no global warming for 17 years 10 months (http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/07/03/rss-shows-no-global-warming-for-17-years-10-months/)
