Arctic sea ice melted less this summer and continued to cover a greater expanse than last year's record minimum, NASA data shows.
But the remaining Arctic sea ice cover is much thinner overall compared to the previous decades by as much as 50 percent. Scientists say thinner seasonal ice is replacing older, thicker ice as it melts away.
"Thinner ice melts completely at a faster rate than thicker ice does, so if the average thickness of Arctic sea ice goes down, it's more likely that the extent of the summer ice will go down as well," said Goddard senior scientist Joey Comiso-Wanker.
"At the rate we're observing this decline, it's very likely that the Arctic's summer sea ice will completely disappear within this century."

0.04% = 0.0004 . just a different way of saying it.
so C02 is less than 0.0004 of the atmosphere.
C02 does not affect the Earth's climate
C02 has been skyrocketing but the Earth is getting colder and has been since 2000
the reason the left picked C02 is because capitalism/industry produce C02
Well, Joey, are you assuming that the trend is consistent in order to predict that the summer sea ice will disappear? What if your assumption is wrong, and there is no such trend?
I figure that the worldwide obesity problem is nature’s way of preparing us for a long, cold period.
The incredibly FLAWED progressive left simply cannot help e selves.
1. Ice COMES AND GOES. By their logic “old thick” ice is to never disappear. This from the “priests of evolution”
2. According to the pseudo-science of the progressive left our world has been around for BILLIONS of years and they claim trend analysis on an infinitesimally small data set that is not even a consistent one.
Having been to Antarctica for over 19 yeas with a combined 2+ years worth of time on that place and a bunch of time in Greenland I can tell you they barely know anything yet but act like they know it all. I enjoy kore than anything the new mental gymnastics they have to go through to justify their religion as the mock my faith in Christ.
Sounds good to me...
I think I'll have another piece of cheesecake, just in case.
Then why didn't it, you babbling fool. The news that you are trying to spin is that the ice DIDN'T melt.
So why are you using this fact to spin a story that it's "more likely that it will melt"?
I'm obviously addressing this to Joey Wanker (appropriate name, isn't it), not you, buyer.
I believe over the very long term, the arctic has bee ice-free more often than ice-covered.
No, you had the zeroes right. And some sources say O.039%.
By taxing carbon, of course, silly.

Well, it all starts with some very solemn editorializing by the MSM, then we RAISE AWARENESS OF THE ISSUE on Facebook and Twitter, then we dispense colorful armbands and ribbons, then we have the $10,000-per-plate Hollywood fundraisers, and then...

If you do that then you have to talk about Russia moving to use their arctic coast as a shipping route.
Looking at the recent arctic ice maps and 30 year average arctic ice maps, it does look like the Russian side of the Arctic has far less ice than the Canadian side
