The earth has actually been cooling since 2007.This year's record cold winter is just the "tip of the iceberg" as proof of this. I'm all for turning off lights when they aren't needed, but when American citizens will have to pay twice as much for energy under President Obama's "Cap and Trade" proposal, we need to stop and really examine what is going on. Higher energy costs based on an incorrect theory ! Very scary stuff...
The Antarctic continues to embarrass the prognosticators as it exhibits very strong sea ice growth. In fact the ice is growing by significant amounts (a total of 17% since 1979) and in direct defiance of the orders issued by the computer models.
For the month of December both sea ice extent and concentration were up significantly over 1979 (the first year satellite measurements were available for the full year), 17.3% for ice extent & 18.3% for ice concentration.
2008 had 11 out 12 months where Antarctic sea ice concentration was greater in 2008 than it was 1979. Many people like to point out that we're comparing the present with just one past year and perhaps that was an anomaly. But looking at Decembers past we found that December 2008 had more sea ice than 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1986. How can this be possible if the earth is warming?
