According to statistical genius Jeff Masters, the odds of a full year of above normal ice are 2^366 to one.
Climate experts tell us that Antarctica is melting down and is going to drown us all, because temperatures in Antarctica are declining and the amount of ice is increasing.

Totally consistent with a warming planet (sarc).
“According to statistical genius Jeff Masters, the odds of a full year of above normal ice are 2^366 to one.”
Sorry, Steven and Jeff. Your maths are way off base. 2^366 can apply only when a given days ice area is stochastically independent of the ice area the day before. And that obviously ain’t the case.
Did you post this at the Masters site too or just here?
Have you always had logic comprehension problems, or is this something new? Somehow you seem to have missed the first half of the sentence you quoted.
