"As an alternative to Arctic Sea Ice news, Antarctic Sea Ice for Aug 29th 2012 is the highest it has been on this date (from 2006 to 2012 which is the only daily data available at the National Ice Center).
Um, you understand the difference between antarctic sea ice and the antarctic ice sheet, no? One melts almost totally each summer, one doesn't.
Not only is there 670,000 sq. km more highest than the next highest amount on Aug 29 , 2010, there is 3.7 million sq km more than 2011."
Babbling nonsense. Antarctic sea ice is not breaking a record now, and "3.7 million sq km more" is an insane claim, not even remotely close to any reality.
Southern Hemisphere Sea Ice Area
See the yellow 2012 line? It's right in the middle of all the other lines.
Antarctic sea ice extent has been creeping up, exactly as AGW science predicted ahead of time. But it's a small increase as compared to the massive plunge in arctic sea ice extent. And the long range prediction for antarctic sea ice is back down again. Currently the stronger antarctic circumpolar wind is blocking warm air from the antarctic, but eventually the warming will overwhelm that.
