The wailing today is that the collapse of the Antarctic ice sheet has already begun.
It’s pretty bad when other environmental reporters start calling you out on it, such as NYT’s Andrew Revkin did today.

A Mild Start To 2014
By Paul Homewood
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcet/cet_info_mean.html
While the eastern half of the US freezes, Britain has enjoyed a remarkably warm start to the year. The CET is currently running at 2.06C above normal (the 1961-90 period).
What is most striking, though, is that no month yet has been anywhere near being a record, or indeed in any way remarkable. The rankings, etc , are shown below. (Remember, the CET series goes back to 1659).
| 2014 Temp C | 2014 Rank | Year of Record High | Record Temp C | |
| Jan | 5.7 | 30 | 1916 | 7.5 |
| Feb | 6.2 | 32 | 1779 | 9.2 |

This overlay was – I said – misleading because it was an ‘apples and oranges’ comparison: of course, I was not then aware of the ‘hide the decline’ (aka “Mike’s Nature trick”) issue.
Unknown to me, somebody copied my email to Michael Mann and he replied.

Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies of All Four NINO Regions Are Now Above the Threshold of an El Niño
We knew it would happen sooner rather than later. For the week centered on May 7, 2014, the sea surface temperature anomalies of the NINO3.4 region have joined the others above the +0.5 deg C threshold of an El Niño. See the four graphs in Figure 1. NINO1+2 values have taken another leap higher.
