Or is it some secret Nazi Arctic submarine navigation chart smuggled to Argentina after the war, the U-boats needed to surface often for air, and it was so ice free they had a regular sub charter schedule to Japan.

Thicker ice sheets can be more resistant to melting by having colder surfaces (but also depress the crust more, so that when melting occurs, it may leave ocean instead of land (isostatic adjustment being a slow process — from memory, a timescale of ~ 15,000 years?)

When rain falls instead of snow during winter, vegetation can ice over and be unavailable to pikas, which supplement their haystacks with year - round foraging, he added.

Instead of the benign tropics, you have sea ice, waters mixed to hundreds of meters down (bad for phytoplankton) and total darkness for much of the year.

Current GCM models may have realistic - seeming weather patterns, but are totally incapable of producing phenomena that look like the Holocene (Little Ice Age, Medieval Warm Period, Roman Warm Period, Holocene Optimum, the steady decline of temperature on average over the last 3,000 years, etc.) The Climate Science community has, instead, taken the path of trying to claim that these swings didn't occur (Michael Mann's «Hockey Stick», etc.) This does not give me a lot of confidence in the rest of their «science».

The only monkey wrench is when some perterbation gives snow / ice the upper hand, slowing the water cycle dramatically, which can cause long - lived snowball epsisodes which only end after millions of years of volcanoes belching snow - darkening soot and insulating CO2 gas to tip the scale back towards domination by liquid water instead of frozen water.

[46] hence over 30 years, in 2009 the maximum ice pack area should be 64 % = (1 - 0,136) 3 of its 1979 value instead of the observed increase by 15 % or more

Philip Bratby:» Please ask why we can not have a graph that shows the extent of the ice for the whole year and why the average can not be for 1979 to 2008 (or to the last complete year) instead of 1979 to (an arbitrary?)

Bringing cold ice to its melting point in a few years, instead of a few centuries, implies that the ice suddenly becomes able to move a lot faster.

and 2) Comiso published a subsequent paper (along with Fumihiko Nishio) in 2008 that added only one additional year to the IPCC analysis (i.e. through 2006 instead of 2005), and once again found a statistically significant increase in Antarctic sea ice extent, with a value very similar to the value reported in the old TAR, that is:

But because the concentration of carbon dioxide is so much higher now than any time in nearly 1 million years, ice sheets are shrinking instead of growing.
