"It's cold today, so obviously global warming is a scam!" Like a person who makes this argument, the author of the article ignores long term global warming trends. Additionally, the title and first paragraph greatly exaggerate the finding of the NSIDC report he cites. Here are a few findings from the report: "The pattern that has dominated the summer of 2008, so far, seems less favorable for ice loss [than 2007]. However, the melt season has a long way to go. Furthermore, as discussed above, large areas of the pack ice with fairly low concentrations are likely to melt out soon." And: "The current pattern of sea ice retreat is noticeably different than last summer, with some areas showing less ice and others showing more."--this is hardly the proof that global warming predictions have been wrong, as the author suggests.
