    Have you ever looked at the site your link came from?

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index.html

    The Daily Mail looks like Britain's version of the National Enquirer.

    Uh... you were the first one to quote the Guardian in this thread, weren't you? I'm proud of you!

    Another source.

    http://www.reportingclimatescience....ta-shows-arctic-ice-volume-has-increased.html

    “One of the things we’d noticed in our data was that the volume of ice year-to-year was not varying anything like as much as the ice extent – at least in 2010, 2011 and 2012... We didn’t expect the greater ice extent left at the end of this summer’s melt to be reflected in the volume. But it has been, and the reason is related to the amount of multiyear ice in the Arctic.” said Rachel Tilling from the UK’s Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling, who led the study into Arctic sea ice thickness, and was quoted in an ESA press release.

    Yep. It sure was ironic how the climate change scientist believed the hype and went to the antarctic and got stuck in ice they didn't believe could be there.

    Did you know that global warming is going to tip off the aliens that we're sufficiently advanced that they should come and invade?

    OK, now I'm scared. We better do something!

    And the icebreaker that went to rescue them got stuck in the ice, too. Must have been some serious ice.

    You really need to read your own links.

    Just like a person can drown in a flash flood during a drought.

    Only a moron would steer a boat into a dangerous situation. Surely his computer model could have told him where the ice was, right?

    So, you are calling our brave Navy and Marines morons? Why do you hate America so?

    Re: Stunning satellite images show summer ice cap is thicker and covers 1.7million sq

    Our navy had to rescue the clueless idiots who got stuck. The chinese icebreaker failed at the rescue as well. Sometimes heroes run in the direction of the danger to save others. But the climate scientist put our Navy and Marines and the Chinese vessel at risk.

    If it weren't so ironic, it would be deadly serious. But it's hilarious.

    BTW, did Algore's powerpoint deck have the aliens bit in it?

    Sounds like the ice stays the same, just some of it moves from land to water or from water to land.

    Big deal.
