<p>Satellite imagery shows that there is a lot more ice and snow than there was in 2006. (Note that the eye altitude has changed since 2006, but I aligned the land edges as closely as possible.)</p>

<p>2006 was the year with the highest summer minimum from the past decade, and ice levels are well above 2006.</p>

<p>The press has manged to spin a decadal increase in ice extent into a &#8220;record low.&#8221;  This is how journalists working for the $29 billion climate mafia operate. Arctic sea ice has been stable for three years, and there is no trend over the past decade.</p>
