  arctic has gained hundreds of miles of ice the last three years.

  red shows the september 2012 minimum extent.

  green shows the current extent, which is likely the minimum for 2015. the arctic has gained hundreds of miles of ice over the past three years, much of which is thick, multi-year ice.. article.

  fulltimestudent:

  "Which leads us to ask why is it that these fanatical christians think this way?"

  Fundamentalist Christians tend to be politically conservatives. Conservatives, as part of their inborn temperament, do not care about people outside of their circle of family and friends nor do they care about the environment in general outside of their own backyards. They have neither a social conscience nor a sense of general responsibility for their actions and thus resent anyone telling them that something must be done on this or that problem.

  Once the irritating "We must do something about this" is communicated to them they spin forth a thousand and one excuses and falsehoods to justify themselves.

  An ice extent graph showing the year 2015, to this date, in black. The measurements are in millions of square kilometers. This is in full context of the 35 year period of satellite measurements. 1980 is in blue indicating a much higher amount of ice back then. 2012 is an outlier year with a super melt.

  There are fluctuations in the year by year melt but the general trend, decade by decade, not 3 years like Perry showed, shows a massive shrink.

  It's going to keep melting until the whole ice cap disappears during summertime. When that happens (estimated between 2020-2030) it will have a major impact on our weather since open ocean affects the weather differently than an ocean covered with ice.

  Look forward to intensified floods and snowstorms (while, for a couple of decades, it's still cold enough to snow).

  I don't know how old you are; I'm assuming you're a teenager by your name.

  If you're so inclined, get an education in something you really like. Your education will work well with a fade since it will take up most of your time. Your mother might not like it but at least she won't feel like you've gone apostate.

  Such an education will put you in a position to make friends that share your interests.

  The Greatest Paradox

  now that i have been a born again christian for 10 years, i see things that just boggles my mind.

  like this: we all spent untold hours in the field service telling people (mostly christians) about the paradise earth.

  that was the reason we were at their door.

  redvip2000:

  Global warming is obviously real, but there really is no evidence that is caused by humans.

  Humans have increased the Carbon Dioxide levels by over 30% since 1960. That has an inevitable impact on our warmth. It's the greenhouse gases.

  I think sometimes we fail to realize that the earth is not static - it too evolves, and goes through difference cyclical stages. There is evidence to suggest that the planet goes though colder and warmer periods, and it could well be that we are going through a warmer period.

  It is irrelevant that the Earth goes through colder or warmer periods naturally. We have increased the CO2 levels and that is what's having the impact. There is nothing in nature that's causing the increase.

  When the ice ages ended we went from a cold period to a warm period which should have stayed at that but now we're going from a warm period into a hot period due to fossil fuel burning.

  Autumnation4414, just to prevent any confusion that record was with reference to the winter extent. The summer extent, which is not yet finished, is likely to be in third place out of 35 years. There's no way summer ice is going to go back to 1980, 1990 or even 2000 levels.

  The extent graph below shows this year in black.

  For those interested in more global warming arguments - skeptic versus scientists - you can go here.
