Turquoise represents ice present in 2012 which wasn’t present at the 2007 minimum. Red shows the opposite. There is 12% more ice than there was at the 2007 minimum.

The Guardian says that climate skeptics are moon landing conspiracy theorists. Note in their picture above, the guy on the right – Buzz Aldrin.
Buzz is a famous climate skeptic, who recently signed a letter by 50 top NASA people criticizing NASA for their climate stance.
Guardian gets the award for being as stupid as humans can be, and still get out of their house in the morning.

Antarctica has been cooling over the last 30 years, which unequivocally proves polar amplification and the CO2 footprint of mankind.
From 1991 to 2007 I believed that all black men were born in Kenya.
Barack Hussein Obama never told me that he was born in Kenya, and it is purely coincidental that newspapers in Africa also believed that he was born in Kenya.
Cut me some slack here. Have you never mistakenly believed for 17 years that your business partner from Hawaii was born in Kenya?
The term “ice-free” started at zero km^2, and is now up to twice the size of Texas. Why stop there? I officially declare the Arctic to be ice-free at four million km^2.
Furthermore, John Holdren explained that after the Arctic becomes ice-free in summer, it will also become ice-free in winter. This means that earth will soon become like Venus – and we will all vaporize in a cloud of blue steam.
Obama told us that Afghanistan was the “Right War” in 2008. We have now been in Afghanistan for two years longer than the Soviet Union was after 1979.
You believed we could use less foreign oil and reduce the carbon pollution that threatens our planet. And in just four years, we have doubled the generation of clean, renewable energy like wind and solar. We developed new fuel standards for our cars so that cars are going to get 55 miles a gallon next decade. That will save you money at the pump. It will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a level roughly equivalent to a year’s worth of carbon emissions from all the cars in the world put together.
I wonder if he noticed on his way in to Fort Collins that 90% of the drivers were in trucks or SUVs?
We’re on track to emit fewer greenhouse gases this year than we have in nearly 20 years. You can keep those trends going. That all happened because of you.
When 9% of the population doesn’t have jobs, they don’t have to drive to work. By further increasing unemployment, he can further reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

By October 17, 2007 – all of the thick ice had pushed past the North Pole towards the North Atlantic.
In 2012, thick ice extends hundreds of miles in every direction from the pole. Comparing 2007 to 2012 is ridiculous.

Experts now say that droughts are caused by missing sea ice.
Weather service warns of ‘certain death’ in face of Ike
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTERSeptember 11, 2008
Texans sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic Thursday on a highway from Galveston County into Houston.
Residents living in single-family homes in some parts of coastal Texas face “certain death” if they do not heed orders to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Ike’s arrival, the National Weather Service said Thursday night.The unusually strong wording came in a weather advisory regarding storm surge along the shoreline of Galveston Bay, which could see maximum water levels of 15 to 22 feet, the agency said.
“All neighborhoods … and possibly entire coastal communities … will be inundated during the period of peak storm tide,” the advisory said. “Persons not heeding evacuation orders in single-family one- or two-story homes will face certain death.”

Why Hurricane Ike’s “Certain Death” Warning Failed

September 26, 2008As residents of Galveston, Texas, were allowed to return to the devastated island this week, experts puzzled over why tens of thousands of others had remained during Hurricane Ike—despite the National Weather Service’s “certain death” warning.
Among the possible explanations: memories of a chaotic 2005 evacuation, an anti-government attitude, and a false sense of security fueled by TV news and the abundance of hurricane data on the Web.
Gene Hafele, director of the Houston-Galveston National Weather Service office, said about 500,000 people in and around Galveston were in a mandatory evacuation zone, and only about 300,000 left.
