Looking at, and presenting, the data in the absence of scientific
understanding of surrounding factors is what got us into this mess in
the first place. There has been a warming trend with increased
sunspot activity, which is the primary driver of the increase of temps
and loss of ice. Sunspot activity is now at it's 11 year low cycle,
and we see an increase in ice formation. Many scientist have tried to
point this out, only to get shouted down by the alarmists.

But I can certainly see how looking at just one data point could lead
some to jump to a conclusion, especially when that conclusion is
driven by monetary or political factors.
