Comparison of Arctic sea ice 06/06/1982 with 06/06/2012, the Arctic was supposed to be ice free in just 6 weeks time

Armageddon in the Arctic by summer 2012 screamed the warming alarmist prediction machine, the outcome of this prediction another epic failure, when the Arctic sea ice in blissful ignorance of the desires and aspirations of warming alarmists for a planet wide catastrophe, continues to grow rapidly.

The warming alarmists made the same predictions about Antarctic ice, the Himalayan glaciers, the peak of Kilimanjaro was going to lose its covering of snow, all caused by man emitting CO2 and not one of these cataclysmic events have actually happened, or even come close to happening.

Satellite monitoring of the cryosphere has only been available since 1979, a mere 33 years which in the natural timescales of the planet is equivalent to a millisecond in the grand scheme of things, far too short a period  for any accurate predictions or the ability to determine if what was observed was a trend, or a cycle.

The junk scientists opted for a trend, underlined by the warmest years on record to back up their contention that this would cause melting of the Arctic ice cap.

The 21st Century is just 12 years old, yet 11 of the hottest years on record are alleged to have happened in warming alarmist mythology.

The warmest year on record in 2005 so lets see how the extent of polar ice compares with 2011 the ninth warmest year on record

You can check the data for yourself, at The Cryosphere Today run by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champiagn using data the National Center for Environmental Prediction/NOAA, NSIDC and the University of Bremen.

The site also contains lots of animations of sea ice behaviour, details of regional sea ice and anomalies all of which are a far cry from the events that the warming alarmists, junk scientists and hysterical Green NGOs have predicted.
