15 May 08 - Excerpt: "... this has been a battle over the alarmist’s
fear of global warming, not about polar bears per se. Global warming,
they worry, is going to yield an ice free Arctic, and the land bound ice
in the Antarctic is on the verge of melting and flooding the coastal
regions of the planet. So, how does the overall global sea ice extent
look, as of today? While it has wiggled up an down about the average
since satellites have been measuring it, and it stayed below average for
several years, it is currently above average, as shown in figure 5,
below.

"My guess is that most of the alarmists are hoping and
praying for a significant meltdown in the Arctic this summer. Without
such a meltdown it won’t be polar bears that are endangered, but their
credibility."
