So...how does that account for the fact there was a 65% increase in the Arctic ice sheets this year then? Pesky Global warming making the ice colder i suppose?

Firstly, it's Arctic sea ice (not ice sheets) Secondly, this year, whilst the minium Arctic sea ice extent was about 50% more than it was last year, which saw a record minimum, it was still less than recent average, and less than models had been predicting 10 years ago.

Find any source that says the Arctic ice sheets gained 65% mass this year. I'll save you the trouble... it didn't. There were blogs floating around about 2013's summer ice extent which was larger than 2012's but it wasn't 65% and what happened was that less sea ice melted than 2012, which was a record sea ice loss summer.

I love it when someone posts a photo of snow in their backyard, and offers it as proof that GLOBAL warming is fake. Because we all know that when it comes to weather patterns that take place of hundreds of years AROUND THE GLOBE, the best barometer to measure that is your backyard.
Quite similar to the idiots who fail to understand that rain forecasts are for the entire viewing area, not their neighborhood and decry their local weatherman who said it was going to rain and it didn't...

@ the OP...
So what untruth did he tell? Do you even read the replies in your own thread?

The problem the way I see it is not so much wether we have global warming or not….
The problem is that humans are so #ing naive and grandiose that we think we are going to have any influence what so ever in the next significant climate change.
Rather than discussing how to change the world or change climate cycles that are far more complicated and has been around for billions of years, we should be focussing all of our energy in figuring out how to adapt in terms of surviving and maintaining our balance (or… try to obtain balance, because we aren't exactly in balance as it is…).

Somehow you did put quote in quote in quote. The new format doesn't support quotes in another quote. If you try to quote your post at the top of this page you will see what went wrong.

Perhaps if you ignore the fact that arctic ice is at a 35 year record that would make sense. Washington Post Source

Now why don't you go ahead and tell us why that means earth isn't warming and while you're at it maybe learn the difference between Arctic and Antarctic.
