It is interesting watching the Arctic ice nutcases.
They have determined that the only sea ice which is important is the ice which microwave sensors can’t detect in the Arctic, during a six week period when the sun is about to set.
There is plenty of ice for the bears and the walruses, the satellites just don’t see it. The sun is low in the sky, so the lack of ice has little effect on the Earth’s shortwave radiative balance.
It doesn’t matter that there was plenty of Arctic ice when the sun was high in the sky during May through July.
It doesn’t matter that Antarctic sea ice is increasing.
It doesn’t matter that Hansen forecast most of the ice loss in the southern hemisphere.

It doesn`t matter that EPA has conveniently deleted the Hansen forecast shown above.
All that matters is crappy satellite data in the Chukchi Sea during a few weeks of August and September.
