Oh, and I'm enjoying talking to you again too much, Doc.
While you were dissing WUWT did you notice the graph there from
DMI on Arctic ice this summer?
I'm not the expert you are of course but isn't that showing the ice as above the 10 year mean (or average) this summer with only days left until the Summer minimum.

Kind of surprising how that could happen during the '2018 - Summer from Hell' don't you think? Huh?
