The area of ice coverage doesn't tell you anything. You don't know how deep it goes anywhere thus you don't know the volume ... and that's how you have to measure ice, i.e. by volume.

You could have two consecutive years of equivalent amounts of sea ice, but one year has record coverage area and the other had much less area but with much deeper ice formation in one or more regions.

The point is that it all melts away in the summer and freezes again the following winter. Sea ice coverage is not a useful measure of anything. You can't use it to make decisions or to draw any valid conclusions.

WRONG! Sea ice coverage is great fear mongering material, since polar bears and penguins lives depend on lots of ice (heavy drinkers, I guess...). It's vitally important, since we spend millions to study it every year, waiting for the best photo-ops, to further the climate-crisis agenda. You have any idea how dangerous it is to separate a polar bear cub from it's mom, and set it adrift on a chunk of ice, just for a viral-video? Takes a lot of hard work and planning to set the charges, line up the video equipment, and capture a an ice cliff collapsing on to a penguin colony. All in the name of 'science'.

So does NASA know that the Earth was not created in 1979?

1979 was just the year they had a polar, spy satellite so they could catch polar bears knocking over trashcans. Eskimos kept complaining... They noticed in the winter, there was a whole lot more ice, and it was harder to spot the polar bears. Fortunately, a lot of it melted over the summer, making it easier to track down the rambunctious polar bears, and murder them. Leaving the 'scientist' with too much free-time, to waste on global warming crap.

Scientist do not study global warming, it is socialist who study global warming.

Why wouldn't they?

As for me, I can use any pronouns. Just depends on how I accessorize.

Now, you gotta admit, that does make the climate hotter.

For me, it determines whether I go by "he/him" ... or insist people refer to me as "Sir!", and it often comes down to what type of toolbox I have installed or what type of gun rack ... sometimes both.

Well, it's what accelerates the change in the climate ... and often makes me adjust my climate control.

Indeed. IBD's answer is what I would consider to be the "prime" response to this sort of thing, but even if one would entertain the "sea ice extent" angle, then this is the next issue. Why is the 1979-present time period more important/meaningful than any other period of time in history?

If one is going to consider the "sea ice extent" angle, then one needs to wonder why this is of any significance since sea ice floats and does not affect the sea level in any way.

So maybe one decides to look at this issue from a sea ice extent because it affects shipping ... except that the sea ice extent for any given year seems to be random, and is neither increasing nor decreasing.

So maybe one decides to devote one's time to something more productive and more informative like reading mattress tags.

1979 is when satellites first took pictures for comparison.The Titanic hit a burg up that way.I wonder where that baby come from
