Recent discussions and reports have highlighted significant climate and sea ice phenomena spanning from 2022 to 2024. Critics have accused climate change advocates of misleading the public by selectively starting sea ice graphs in 1979, a notably cold year, to exaggerate ice loss, despite claims of 'boiling oceans'. However, data indicates that Arctic sea ice extent remains above the 21st-century average, challenging these claims. In 2024, the Arctic observed its 14th lowest annual maximum sea ice extent, occurring 2 days later than the historical average. Concurrently, Antarctic sea ice has been described as 'behaving strangely,' with the Arctic experiencing a below-average winter peak. Temperature anomalies, particularly a notable warmth stretching from northern Siberia toward the North Pole in February 2024, have been documented as being >8°C above the 1981-2010 average. Additionally, a major reversal event has caused the polar vortex above the Arctic to spin 'backwards', indicating complex dynamics at play in polar regions.

“Polar vortex is 'spinning backwards' above Arctic after major reversal event” I will say more about this in a posting to my X Subscribers. Article: https://t.co/vqbSP7VkdC

Arctic sea ice extent continues above the 21st century average. Meanwhile, @FoxNews predicts the ice will be gone in a decade. #ClimateScam ftp://osisaf.met.no/prod_test/ice/index/v2p2/nh/osisaf_nh_sie_daily.txt https://t.co/xF8eSHtlzv https://t.co/ctetYg8lKk https://t.co/MDm7iz8Fyj

2024 observed the 14th lowest annual maximum #Arctic sea ice extent. This maximum was set 2 days later than the 1981-2010 average. For more information (@NSIDC): https://t.co/ILSyINoQ73 https://t.co/Ceuy4HBBro
The #ClimateScam professionals at @NOAA claim that Arctic sea ice extent has declined over the past seventeen years, which is baseless propaganda designed to mislead the public. https://t.co/2sbbUK4kZL ftp://osisaf.met.no/prod_test/ice/index/v2p2/nh/osisaf_nh_sie_daily.txt https://t.co/CKV7JRaYQC
Arctic sea ice extent continues above the 21st century average. This is in no way compatible with the #ClimateScam claims of "boiling oceans" ftp://osisaf.met.no/prod_test/ice/index/v2p2/nh/osisaf_nh_sie_daily.txt https://t.co/LM13Ud6l9u
#ClimateScam cultists choose to start their sea ice graphs in 1979, because that was the coldest year on record in Iceland. There is seemingly no limit to their dishonesty and mendacity. https://t.co/gygJ8fLNZi https://t.co/ZuURmnsc59
