Antarctic now has record amounts of ice, which is why the MV Akademik Shokalskiy got stuck fast in it.


It's wonderful to read the greeny bollox every time it comes out, because there's one proveable phenomenon, they haven't got the slightest clue WTF they are on about!
You do realize that the record amount of ice in the ocean is actually a sign of a warming artic, as glaciers on land melt, they "calve" meaning that bits of them fall off into the ocean. The ice sheets "float" along meltwater underneath them. The average temperature of the Artic has risen five degrees since 1970. There is really no question that the ice caps are melting, if you wish you can claim that it is part of something other than climate change but if you think that there is more ice in the artic than 1970 you are perhaps the one who most resembles your last sentence.
