Hi Rat; The reason you bring up Arctic sea ice is because Antarctic Sea Ice goes the other way. From the official NASA website: Arctic Sea Ice Shrinks, Antarctic Grows A new NASA study shows that from 1978 to 2010 the total extent of sea ice surrounding Antarctica in the Southern Ocean grew by roughly 6,600 square miles every year, an area larger than the state of Connecticut. And previous research by the same authors indicates that this rate of increase has recently accelerated, up from an average rate of almost 4,300 square miles per year from 1978 to 2006. This year's winter Antarctic sea ice maximum extent, reached two weeks after the Arctic Ocean's ice cap experienced an all-time summertime low, was a record high for the satellite era of 7.49 million square miles, about 193,000 square miles more than its average maximum extent for the last three decades. nasa.gov So go ahead and hang your hat on the belief that sea ice is going to go away, LOL. This idea was brought to you by the same folks who, a decade ago, told the British that their children would never know snow. Too bad the global temperatures aren't going your way. I'm just wondering where you're going to retreat to next. -- Carl
