"strangely cold year in the arctic": Warmist rower discovers that "Many factors affect how much ice there is, where it is and how thick it is in any one place in the massive Arctic"

How much ice is really out there this year? – MainStream Last First

We’ve had the opportunity to decompress over the last week and reflect on our arctic experience.

“Many factors affect how much ice there is, where it is and how thick it is in any one place in the massive Arctic. The weather in the Arctic can be unpredictable and is getting more so. The mistake we sometimes make is thinking weather can tell us something about the climate. Weather happens locally over a short period of time. Sometimes it’s cold; sometimes it’s warm; sometimes it’s raining; sometimes it’s not. The guys experienced weather. Climate is something we measure over decades. This summer’s Arctic weather barely even impacted that long-term trend line at all.”
