Hey BB, I have a serious question for you.

Now that the CAGW theory is a busted flush what will be the next doom and gloom disaster that pj and his ilk will follow in an attempt to gain power ?

Ozone depletion
de-oxygenation
Ocean acidification
plague

And when did you stop beating your wife?

I'll promise to stop telling the truth

arctic ice is up
Antarctic ice is up
Polar bears are up

And the Stern thing was not exactly a reality-based statement, was it now?

Yep, loadsa graphs out there. That one is showing this years ice well below the long term mean, and by eyeball already outside the grey 1 standard deviation band.

It's actually in the grey, you might want to get your eyes tested.

"Eyeballing" isn't a very scientific way of analysing data, so I would suggest some elementary reading. You might find it helpful.

the arctic was supposed to be ice-free by now, yet there are ships getting stuck in the ice. just like last year when we had a grand expedition to Antartica to show the devastating effects of global warming
what happened ? it got stuck in the ice and they had to be helicoptered off

Eyeballing is often enough - just means I CBA to dig any deeper than looking at the graph, thanks for the correction, if it is not outside the 1sd range yet, it soon will be.
