More confusing climate data. The University of Illinois has a site that lets you compare satellite photos of the Arctic ice cap from one year to the next, going back to 1980.
You can see here that there was somewhat more ice cover this year than last, a week ago. On the other hand, in the 1980s the Bering Sea had more ice than this year.
The next graphic is about temperatures this year so far, which seems to fit with the above.
NOAA says that 2008 has a been a cool year so far. Stay tuned ...
