[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Scientists have their models and hypothesis.  It takes time to validate those.

A couple of years back, models linked loss of arctic ice to global warming.  Now, we have this 
http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2013/09/23/antarctic-sea-ice-hit-35-year-record-high-saturday/

Scientists changed their models and are discussing about climate changes now.

We need to respect science.  However, it takes time to know the truth.[/quote]

Your link says that scientists are not sure why Antarctic sea ice has increased over the last 2 years even though the ocean is warming, and proposes several possible explanations, which are all consistent with human-caused climate change. (Note also: Antarctic sea ice. Arctic sea ice continues to decrease as predicted.)

Final paragraph in your link:

"Ultimately, it’s apparent the relationship between ozone depletion, climate warming from greenhouse gases, natural variability, and how Antarctic ice responds is all very complicated. In sharp contrast, in the Arctic, there seems to be a relatively straight forward relationship between temperature and ice extent."[/quote]

It is very wrong to cite newspaper for any scientific conclusion.  The only thing meaningful is the fact that arctic ice is growing after shrinking for a while.  This fact invalidates some earlier global warming model/hypothesis.  Please not try to jump on any scientific conclusion too quickly.  It is not always right.  [/quote]

No, arctic ice continues to shrink. Antarctic ice is growing despite the water temperature being warmer. [/quote]
