Ah, I thought we were concerned about Global Warming. Didn't realise it was Scottish Warming that was in doubt.

Last time I saw a page like that it was written by Creationists. Look at the love, the care.... you guys! You LOVE global warming, don't you?

Note here the ice is increasing

...now read my words carefully


IT DOESN'T NORMALLY INCREASE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR



Hopefully this time you've understood.

Its a wiggly line, so what?

Besides, extent only gives you the 2D picture. In terms of overall melt-off it is the volume that is relevant and that just keeps on shrinking.

[BlasterBates]

Hard to believe that as new sea becomes ice that the rest of the arctic ice melts to become thinner...

The arctic extent speaks for itself.

...and you can check out DMI to see that the region of multi year ice (hence thicker) has expanded over the last year or so.

We might as well stop it, PJ is like a fundie on this stuff. We could show him whatever data we wanetd and he would still have his fingers in his ears. He's an advocate of AGW because he WANTS it to be true.

Might as well try to convince the pope to wear a rubber johnny.

I used to believe this stuff as well, though I was always puzzled by the argument that the climate should change for the worse, why not for the better, how could they be so sure? When the earth was much hotter wasn't covered in lucious forests that could support animals the size of two semi-detached houses. Then I read the argument on sun spots and noted the sun spot activity was at historically high levels, how could they simply ignore it, and then lo and behold the sunpots disappear and guess what, all over the Northern Hemisphere coldest temperatures on record are noted and even Phil Jones notes the temperature has dropped slightly.

Still each to his own.

Surely a climate scientist should have a more open mind.
