Due to decreased sea ice extent and the common and violent storms at the Alaskan coast — where I used to live in the Aleutians we'd see 100 + knot winds every winter, the same forces that destroy lousy buildings in southern states — the coastline is eroding a lot faster than it used to.

Alistair B McDonald: It seems that during last year's El Nino a tipping point was passed where the Antarctic sea ice extent, instead of slowly increasing year by year, changed to a mode where it is suddenly began to decrease.

If you plot the average Arctic Sea Ice extent for 20 years, the you should also plot the monthly maximum and minimum values on the same figure so that we can get some perspective on where the 2007 and 2008 data falls in the context of annual variability, or examine for trends.
