The following is from the same site. Pretty cool animation of the massive ice loss of 2007.

The 40Mb animation at the left shows the 2007 dramatic loss of multiyear sea ice throughout the year. Multiyear sea ice is older and generally thicker ice - sea ice that has survived at least one melt season (shown in brighter white).

Yeah....and it all came back, didn't it?

Aren't we lucky we didn't listen to those doomsayers about the melting Arctic Ice, like The Goreacle, who based his prediction on an ice free Arctic on the 2007 natural ice loss?

The temperature of the planet continues to increase.

NASA: The 12-month running mean global temperature has reached a new record in 2010 — despite recent minimum of solar irradiance « Climate Progress

I don't know why anyone would use short-term weather events to try to prove otherwise.

It isn't;

It's 'the hottest year on record', as long as you don't take its temperature - Telegraph

As reported by the US blogs Real Science and Watts Up With That, in a post headed “GISS temperatures out of line with the rest of the world”, the GISS record has in recent months been diverging wildly from the others. While three have shown global temperatures dropping sharply, by as much as 0.3C, the GISS figures (based, despite the link to Nasa, on surface temperatures) have shot up by 0.2C.

Real Science demonstrates that the parts of the world which GISS shows to be heating up the most are so short of weather stations that only 25 per cent of the figures are based on actual temperature readings.
They, meaning the AGW nut Hansen and his minions, then make up for the temperatures they don't actually have by just making them up out of thin air.

This is not the first time he has been caught with made up crappy data.

I wonder if you've ever read anything on the totally defective surface temperature stations?

Not at all dependable....and isn't it always funny that whenever "adjustments" need to be made, its always in the upwards direction?
