all this climate scare that Al Gore and other have been saying has always been a lie just a way to tax and make money .

[...] So, why is it still going strong? The problem is: The Anthropogenic (Man-Made) Global Warming Theory has moved away from science and become an extremely political issue. I encourage you to do your own research and form your own opinions. If you are open to discussion, here are just a few of the reasons I, as well as many others in the scientific community, question the “Man-Made Global Warming Hypothesis” as it stands today: 1) NASA ADMITS ITS WORLD-WIDE CLIMATE DATA IS NOT RELIABLE. Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute are responsible with tracking daily, monthly and yearly global temperature patterns. Their findings are used by the UN IPCC to further the Man-Made Global Warming assertion. In early November of this year, scientists from the GODDARD INSTITUTE declared October 2008 the WARMEST OCTOBER ON RECORD globally. Problem is, they were wrong. Other climatologists examined the data and noticed that the temperatures from parts of Europe and Russia were numbers from SEPTEMBER! Oops! After the correction was made, October 2008 was actually the 77th warmest out of 125 years. Here’s the story: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/11/16/do1610.xml What was most incredible about this story: Goddard Scientists admit they “did not have resources to exercise proper quality control over the data (the lab) was supplied with.” WOW! This is the agency that most Global Warming Supporters use to further their assertions. Yet, NASA scientists admit they don’t know if the data is correct or not! Unreliable data means unreliable results which lead to unreliable theories & conclusions. 2) NORTH AMERICAN GLACIERS ARE INCREASING IN SIZE. Yep, its true. Many glaciers in Alaska, Canada, and Finland have increased in size. But, this does not fit into any of the Global Warming forecasts. Haven’t heard about it? Read about it here: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2008/11/27/glaciers-in-norway-alaska-growing-again/ 3) ARCTIC SEA ICE IS INCREASING, NOT DECREASING. October and November of 2008 saw some of the largest ice growth in history.

Wow, Eric…I wonder if you are aware of the plethora of assumptions behind your comment? Does sea ice intervene in the “creation” of the world’s “temperature” only through its albedo properties? If an unusually sharp drop is remarkable, why wouldn’t an unusually sharp increase be just as remarkable? And where is the cold for the October freeze-up coming from, figuratively speaking?

Since there is little or no daylight in the Arctic at this season, the extent or area of sea ice at thjs season is of little importance in the creation of climate. It doesn’t affect the albedo of the earth since there is no sunlight.
Year to year variation of Sea Ice extent is the smallest it will be at this season, so a return to normal values of sea ice extent is to be expected in this season as it has done in past years.
The significant variations take place at the end of the melting season when the ice is at its minimum extent.
Furthermore the this years October ice extent has merely taken its place on the downward trend line of sea ice extent during after an unusually sharp drop in September.
An plot of September and October ice area reveals the real situation:
