Which admittedly only goes back to 1979, but still throw away 30 years of “global warming” misinformation.

Haven’t they been saying if we keep breathing and otherwise expel carbon dioxide into the atmosphere all of the sea ice would melt?

[G]lobal sea ice levels now equal those seen 29 years ago, when the year 1979 also drew to a close

Ice levels had been tracking lower throughout much of 2008, but rapidly recovered in the last quarter. In fact, the rate of increase from September onward is the fastest rate of change on record, either upwards or downwards

The data is being reported by the University of Illinois’s Arctic Climate Research Center, and is derived from satellite observations of the Northern and Southern hemisphere polar regions

Each year, millions of square kilometers of sea ice melt and refreeze. However, the mean ice anomaly—defined as the seasonally-adjusted difference between the current value and the average from 1979-2000, varies much more slowly. That anomaly now stands at just under zero, a value identical to one recorded at the end of 1979, the year satellite record-keeping began

Earlier this year, predictions were rife that the North Pole could melt entirely in 2008.

So when there was one sunny summer and the sea ice retreated more than usual it was used to spread the cause of global alarmism.  Now the sea ice is as wide ranging as ever and what do we hear blaring in the press?

Silence

Meanwhile global warming socialists are on the lookout for any weather anomaly that they can use to scare the public into accepting more government control of their lives and higher prices for our children

This has got to be the most widely repeated, easily disproved, hoax every foisted on the public.  It seems that half of the people out there just want to believe that they are a problem and need to be punished for something, anything

The heck with them and any politician that caters to them. 

For the record I know the difference between sea ice and an ice berg.  That picture of an ice berg is just too cool not to post whenever I can.
