Frank:
You're attempting to connect the dots between temps and ice pack. It's not a linear correlation. In fact, many studies addressing the issue draw more of a correlation to atypical winds. Blame the
Arctic Oscillation ..........

Ah, yes, MDR.
You are another Global Climate Change denier. You'll grasp at any strawman argument, won't you?

Mike:
I believe in scientific conclusions based verified and validated data. Additionally, I don't participate in name calling. Two qualities that you evidently lack. Next time, don't start with your conclusion (agenda?) and selectively backfill with handpicked data.
The AO variation issue is widely accepted as a major cause of the decrease in Arctic ice. The data in the literature is more than significant, as it arises from multiple credible sources.
Convention based in valid data or name calling; what would a reasonably informed person choose?

MDR keep fighting the good fight. Liberals do not like data/facts. They like emotions and feelings. Funny how the CO2 levels right now are around .038% but yet it is supposedly CO2 that is causing global warming. Meanwhile in the past we have had CO2 at 10%!! But don't believe me...ask any geologist. Frank I know you are a manmade global warming believer, but thanks for posting opposing views.
FR: Check your facts. "We" have never had CO2 concentrations at 10 percent. It causes loss of consciousness at 8 pct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide#Toxicity The highest concentration in the geological record is perhaps 7,000 parts per million, or .7 percent, in the Cambrian Age. And if you want to see how it's been rising, take a look at this: http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/history.html
