Arctic ice extent overlaid on Antarctic extent. The positive anomaly in the south is larger than the shrinking negative anomaly in the north, when shown at the same scale.
Yes, they are at the same scale, as you can see below in an un-shifted version.
Dr. Hansen says that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if everyone else agrees that 2010 is the hottest year, but RSS has 2010 considerably cooler than 1998. Temperatures have plummeted since mid-November, so it would require an extraordinary extra-terrestrial event to make Hansen’s statement correct . HadCRUT also shows 1998 much warmer than 2010.
Temperatures in Maine peaked from 1895 to 1950, with the warmest year in 1913 -when CO2 was 301 ppm. Even with upwards adjustments of newer temperatures and downwards adjustments of older temperatures, they haven’t been able to get 2010 up to #1. Fourteen of Maine’s twenty hottest years occurred before 1960.
NCDC Texas year-to-date mean temperatures with five year running mean in red. Texas warmed from 1895 to 1950, cooled for 15 years, and then warmed again until the late 1990s. Fifteen of Texas’s twenty warmest years occurred before 1960. The warmest year was 1911, when CO2 levels were 300 ppm. Even with USHCN upwards adjustments of recent data and downwards adjustments of past data, Texas has not shown any warming.
NCDC Louisiana year-to-date mean temperatures with five year running mean in red. Louisiana warmed from 1895 to 1950, cooled for 15 years, and then warmed again until the late 1990s. Fifteen of Louisiana’s twenty warmest years occurred before 1960. The warmest year was 1911, when CO2 levels were 300 ppm. Even with USHCN upwards adjustments of recent data and downwards adjustments of past data, Louisiana has not shown any warming.

Is there any reason why people still listen to climatologist’s forecasts?

Year to date temperatures in all of the west coast states are dropping at a rate of between 5 and 20 degrees per century.
California
Arizona
Nevada
More evidence that the OCCRI claims are bogus.
Raw thermometer data shows a significant decline.
Adjusted data hides most of the decline, but still no warming trend. The 1930s was the hottest.
