Reply #23: This year will go into the record tally with near "normal" ice extent

[NecklyTyler]

The deniers will point and say look at the record!

Mark McGwire hit home runs and they are record in the baseball record, but the question remains was it Mark McGire's record or was it steroids?

The Arctic polar ice had reached its winter peak and had gone into delcine when the wind started moving the existing ice around. The newly opened polynyas froze over with a thin cover of ice and the satillites recorded the extents. The ice extent is now in the offical record, but is it the winter peak extent, or is it just an observation of the effects of Arctic weather?
