the graph below of average monthly Arctic Sea ice extent October 1979-2019 was copied from a page entitled Arctic Sea Ice News & Analysis prepared by National & Ice Data Center, a unit of NOAA.

a former poster on HC, the vehement denier of AGW and climate change known as Tee47, imagined that ocean cooling was imminent. Doesn’t seem to have happened yet in the Arctic, but maybe Tee47 had the graph the wrong way up.

the Center reported on that page on Nov.5 that “October daily sea ice extent went from third lowest in the satellite record at the beginning of the month to lowest on record starting on October 13 through October 30.“

”Daily extent finished second lowest, just above 2016, at month’s end. Average sea ice extent for the month was the lowest on record.

”While freeze-up has been rapid along the coastal seas of Siberia, extensive open water remains in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, resulting in unusually high air temperatures in the region. Extent also remains low in Baffin Bay.”
