As the IPCC reported in 1990, Arctic and Antarctic trends go opposite each other. Arctic ice increased from 1973 to 1981, and Antarctic ice decreased during that same period.

The one thing constant in climate science is that climate scientists will say whatever is required to obtain funding, and they will cherry-pick their data as necessary. What they are doing has absolutely nothing to do with science.
