Over the last few days several news articles have emerged announcing that Arctic sea ice is growing, not shrinking, and therefore the climate is not warming but cooling.
This is not the result of scientific data disagreeing, this is simply poor journalism. Phil Plait<https://www.facebook.com/pages/Phil-Plait/251070648641?directed_target_id=0> has covered these articles in depth and gone through exactly what is wrong with them. Check it out here:http://slate.me/1dZwsej ;-) "Theres long been a claim that global warming has stopped, but this too is wrong <http://skepticalscience.com/global-warming-stopped-in-1998.htm>. Surface temperatures havent increased as much as they did a decade or so ago, but we now understand that the extra heat from global warming is getting stored in the oceans<http://skepticalscience.com/watanabe-et-al-2013-another-piece-of-the-puzzle.html>. Surface temperatures are a piece of the puzzle, but like their name implies, they dont probe the depths of the problem<http://www.skepticalscience.com/charles-krauthammer-flat-earther-global-warming-folly.html>. Remember too that nine of the 10 hottest years since 1880 have been in the past decade<http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/01/18/global_warming_nine_of_the_ten_hottest_years_since_1880_have_been_in_the.html> ." Also, note the headline of the article that says, Record Return of Arctic Ice Cap as it Grows by 60% in a Year. That is grossly misleading, making it seem as if the sea ice is coming back. It isnt. The sea ice grows and recedes with the seasons every year and has been on the decline since spring and the overall trend over time is *definitely* downward." I haven't seen a decent rebuttal of these facts.
