Antarctic sea ice is currently about three standard deviations above normal, according to NSIDC graphs.
The excess sea ice is necessarily located at relatively low latitudes, and the sun is near its peak in Antarctica now. This means that large amounts of sunshine are being reflected back into space by the excess ice.
How much southern hemisphere cooling does this excess ice generate?
The graph above overlays the NSIDC Arctic graph (red) on their Antarctic graph (blue) with both axes normalised to the same scale. Note that there is almost twice as much sea ice in the southern hemisphere as there is in the northern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere is about 1.5 million km^2 below the mean, and the southern hemisphere is about 1.5 million km^2 above the mean.
The next graph shows the Y-axis shifted to line up the deviations. Note that they are equal and opposite.
The Sun is up high in the sky over Antarctica and sea ice extent is far above normal. The extra ice reflects sunlight back into space, which has the effect of a positive feedback, reinforcing the extreme cold which the Antarctic is experiencing this spring.
The ice is melting very slowly, because of the cold temperatures.

They can just send the scientists home and quit pretending that this has anything to do with science. The results have been pre-determined and the next IPCC report will be even “worse than the last one.”
Difficult to imagine that Pauchuri could do worse than he did last time, but that is what they are promising. How can there be any remaining doubt that this process is fraudulent?.
This is actually an old English tradition, but normally the dildo is the art rather than the artist.
Climate change will raise average crop productivity until 2020, after which it will decline by 5-10 per cent by 2050, according to research carried out by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) in Colombia.
The Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security programme, which will be formally announced on December 4 at the climate change conference (COP 16) in Cancun, Mexico, will pool knowledge on the impacts of climate change on food security to try and find a way forward.

I suspect that they will all find their way forward to food security at expensive restaurants funded by taxpayer dollars.

Dude, like he might have died from Dengue fever. Or he might of died of a drug overdose. But either way it is proof of global warming. Because … like … they never used to have mosquitoes in Puerto Rico before global warming.
