Yes, there's been an uptick in the last couple of months that you're getting all excited about. However, you failed to point out (I wonder why...) that even with the recent uptick it's still well below the 1979-2000 average.

NSDIC Reports Antarctic Sea Ice Increasing

Posted By Dean Rowe

Yep - and at the same time GRACE is showing Antarctica is loosing ice mass. Keep in mind that extent is area and says nothing about mass or volume. Things are a bit complex down there.

I'm not sure that's showing what you think it is.

[shrug] - He took the trend out, removing the temperature rise. So (at best) he's showing that there's an oscillation on top of the trend. You can see what he did by seeing the same data (plus a few more recent months) plotted at close to the same scale without the trend removed.

It's not the skeptics that are anti-science

On another thread, someone has implied that those who questioned the urgency of taking action to limit man's influence on global climate change were "anti-science". In response to that accusation, one might be interested in this Yale University study of who really is more scientifically knowledgeable: those espousing the sky is falling scenario, or those who are skeptical of this alarmist message.

As much as you complain about ad-hominems Hugh, don't you have a problem with this from your link?


Mooney is a global warming alarmist extraordinaire and faux science journalist who has built his career on subservience to the global warming elite. He has been rewarded handsomely with access, awards, and lucrative fellowships. His first book was The Republican War on Science. He's been in bed with big climate 'science' for a long time.

Faster by a whopping 0.04 degrees C per 100 years according to the link - yawn. More interesting is the fact that you neglected to quote that part of the article...
