Global warming? No, actually we're cooling, claim scientists

[stupidicus]

12. given that last year was the lowest ice extent on record

since satellites started taking pics, http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnsidc.org%2Farcticseaicenews%2F2012%2F09%2Farctic-sea-ice-extent-settles-at-record-seasonal-minimum%2F&ei=yBwtUvkwqdbJAdLogKgF&usg=AFQjCNHFczC7PNJ3W2uvvNF1DPgWfuYKXg&bvm=bv.51773540,d.aWc I'm underwhelmed

and of course, we don't call it "most ice extent in the Arctic warming" but rather "global" warming of which the arctic is but a small part of

there are also other things to consider, like the thickness of that ice.

Arctic sea ice cover naturally grows during the dark Arctic winters and retreats when the sun re-appears in the spring. But the sea ice minimum summertime extent, which is normally reached in September, has been decreasing over the last three decades as Arctic ocean and air temperatures have increased. This year's minimum extent is approximately half the size of the average extent from 1979 to 2000. This year's minimum extent also marks the first time Arctic sea ice has dipped below 4 million square kilometers.

"Climate models have predicted a retreat of the Arctic sea ice; but the actual retreat has proven to be much more rapid than the predictions," said Claire Parkinson, a climate scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. "There continues to be considerable inter-annual variability in the sea ice cover, but the long-term retreat is quite apparent."

The thickness of the ice cover is also in decline.

It's good to see flat earther stuff posted here though
