2013 Was Not A Good Year For Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Climate Warming Change Disruption Weirding Ocean Acidification Extreme Weather, etc. | Watts Up With That?
For anyone keeping track, 2013 has not been a good year for those who propagate the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) Narrative, also know by a litany of increasingly nebulous buzzwords including ?Climate Change?, ?Climate Disruption??, ?Global Weirding?, ?Ocean Acidification?, and ?Extreme Weather?. Regardless of efforts to nebulize CAGW to explain all forms of climatic and weather variation, in 2013 every loosely falsifiable prediction of the CAGW narrative seems to have failed
Global Temperatures through November 2013 had not increased for between 8 years and 11 months to 17 years and 3 months. depending on data set and Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) reached 17 years in October, 2013:
?The volume of ice measured this autumn is about 50% higher compared to last year.
In October 2013, CryoSat measured about 9000 cubic km of sea ice ? a notable increase compared to 6000 cubic km in October 2012.?
?About 90% of the increase is due to growth of multiyear ice ? which survives through more than one summer without melting ? with only 10% growth of first year ice. Thick, multiyear ice indicates healthy Arctic sea-ice cover.
This year?s multiyear ice is now on average about 20%, or around 30 cm, thicker than last year. ?
??One of the things we?d noticed in our data was that the volume of ice year-to-year was not varying anything like as much as the ice extent ? at least in 2010, 2011 and 2012,? said Rachel Tilling from the UK?s Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling, who led the study.
?We didn?t expect the greater ice extent left at the end of this summer?s melt to be reflected in the volume. But it has been, and the reason is related to the amount of multiyear ice in the Arctic.'? European Space Agency
Also, Arctic Sea Ice Extent remained within two standard deviations of the 1981 ? 2010 average for the entirety of 2013;
