    gee, and only 50 years after the Little Ice Age…………….

    That can not be as it was Before Satellites! Weather and climate were stable before satellites. Maybe in this case correlation is causation and the launching of satellites disrupted the ocean atmosphere interface causing catastrophic climate.

    Load of rubbish. They can judge 20% ice loss from ” ship observations ” … like what obversations did they do?

    From that they managed to explain Baffin Bay and also India getting hotter.

    Wow, that is some extrapolation.

    Some people have trouble with reading and comprehension – or at least the comprehension part.

    Does the newspaper article say that Arctic sea ice shrank? No, it says Barents Sea ice shrank. The Barents is a marginal arctic sea – today it is essentially ice-free four months of the year. Scientific research shows the maximum August sea ice extent for the Barents Sea occurred in 1866. Minimum extent was in 1995, but as a marginal arctic sea it is highly variable and little can be extrapolated from Barents sea ice extent minima or maxima to the arctic as a whole.

    In other words – you have no defense for your misleading title.

    If you actually read the article it says a FORECAST for warmer winters and summers. Didn’t I just say that extrapolating (forecasting) from a marginal arctic sea is unreliable? I answered your little red-herring argument before you even made it – and you never even noticed 🙂 Duh!

    You see, I can read and I actually understand the words as written.

    You use trivial facts, anecdotes, etc the way a drunk uses a lamp-post – for support, not illumination.

    SG:You are an idiot.

    Translation: Poor reading and comprehension skills leads to misleading headline and epic fail rebuttal. SG can’t answer with facts or logic so he resorts to meaningless insults. Lather, rinse, repeat.

    You, my friend, are a sad excuse for a sentient being, but very entertaining in a Three Stooges/ Keystone Kops sort a way. It always brightens my weekend to read the surreal stupidity that originates here.

    I called that one in advance 🙂

    KO: SG can’t answer with facts or logic so he resorts to meaningless insults. Lather, rinse, repeat. .

    Recession? Quick! Somebody please tell Obama the shrinking ice is the cause of the poor economic recovery!
