Duh? Really? You think? Gee, If only I was as educated as you... Oh look! You even put up a pretty picture! Yup! That answers my point!

Not....

The point is: Ice shelves have been dropping off the arctic peninsula at a historic rate over the last decade-and-a-half. It looks like the entire Wilkins ice shelf will be gone by early next January. Thats several times more that what went today. The size of Northern ireland.

You are so fond of your 1-year Arctic Ice Maximum, but this is a trend that has been going on for a decade! (And you do, of course, understand the difference between arctic and antarctic? You know, a world apart?).

But like I said, for the faithful... nothing to see here.
