The screaming headline from the Daily Mail, declaring (again) that Global Warming is over and government scientists are all liars:
And now it's global COOLING! Record return of Arctic ice cap as it grows by 60% in a year
Now with maps!
Yep, a one-year rise in August sea ice means global warming is over. The 35-year downward trend doesn't mean anything. Just like 2007, when global warming ended. Umm, I mean, 2004. I mean 2001. Oh that big sea ice jump in 1996, that certainly ended global warming. 1982! Look at how much ice we had in 1982. Virtually no change from 82 to 96, so that certainly means global warming is a myth.
Right?
2013's big Arctic ice cap recovery is lower than 2005's decline. This reminds me of evolution deniers pointing to every fossil gap as evidence against evolution: It's ignoring the long-term trend in favor of a snapshot in time.
