I remember the hysteria during the summer on how there would be no sea
ice this year due to global warming. I'm pretty sure it was Chuck G
pushing this BS here.

Chuck, can you relax now that the sea ice is now back to it's
historical levels?

I suppose I'll regret this, but I'm afraid the data available at

or http://tinyurl.com/2nv9n6

strongly suggests that indeed, global sea ice area over the last couple of
years is significantly below the 20 year average for 1979-2000, and
further, the recent trend is for continuing reduction in sea ice area. In
fact, that very figure is presented in the article you reference - you
might want to take a closer look at it before you reject the idea that
something is happening with respect to global sea ice area. I daresay if
that graph were of your bank account, rather than sea ice, you'd be a lot
more concerned.
