1. you really have no idea about science or or reading charts do you fraudcurrents? the piomas chart is a year over year chart... the going down part is the seasonal aspect...that shows the minimum in the ARTIC ice is september... but this september has shown more ice than than many most recent years. 2. And if you really meant antartic ice... you are not only chart reading stupid... you are just dead ass wrong. The volume of antartic sea ice is going up... although one part is going down because of an underground volcano. I presume you were speaking about the artic when you said ice was decreasing... so I went to the PIOMAS Artic ice model to show you were wrong about that too. 3. So you really should not worry as you are selling the air conditioning green house gas that is 2700 times more powerful than co2. Or maybe you should. http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JCLI-D-13-00301.1 Unlike the rapid sea ice losses reported in the Arctic, satellite observations show an overall increase in Antarctic sea ice concentration over recent decades. However, observations of decadal trends in Antarctic ice thickness, and hence ice volume, do not currently exist. In this study a model of the Southern Ocean and its sea ice, forced by atmospheric reanalyses, is used to assess 1992–2010 trends in ice thickness and volume. The model successfully reproduces observations of mean ice concentration, thickness, and drift, and decadal trends in ice concentration and drift, imparting some confidence in the hindcasted trends in ice thickness. The model suggests that overall Antarctic sea ice volume has increased by approximately 30 km3 yr−1 (0.4% yr−1) as an equal result of areal expansion (20 × 103 km2 yr−1 or 0.2% yr−1) and thickening (1.5 mm yr−1 or 0.2% yr−1). This ice volume increase is an order of magnitude smaller than the Arctic decrease, and about half the size of the increased freshwater supply from the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Similarly to the observed ice concentration trends, the small overall increase in modeled ice volume is actually the residual of much larger opposing regional trends. Thickness changes near the ice edge follow observed concentration changes, with increasing concentration corresponding to increased thickness. Ice thickness increases are also found in the inner pack in the Amundsen and Weddell Seas, where the model suggests that observed ice-drift trends directed toward the coast have caused dynamical thickening in autumn and winter. Modeled changes are predominantly dynamic in origin in the Pacific sector and thermodynamic elsewhere.
So all the recent years on that chart is lower than the long term average and YOU consider that a gain of ice. WOW. POS liar doesn't quite cover it. We already knew the Arctic is rapidly losing ice. The Antarctic is also losing ice volume.
you misread the chart you troll. you thought the black line going down meant ice volume was going down rapidly. the long term average is not very long... the chart started during the warming period and we now have more ice than we did for 5 recent years in a 35 year chart. so we have more ice than than in about in 20 percent of the time period covered and all of the most recent years. that is not rapid ice loss... if anything it looks like rebounding ice volume.
this article is from one of your beloved sources the AMS the American Meterological Society... in may 2014. with an author from East Anglia - the home of the climate gate emails. and NASA... and the Jet Propulsion guys. As a nutter you have to salute these guys... these are your people. Yet... they say there is an overall gain in Antartica.

the major problem with your theory is that CO2 matches up but lags change in ocean temperature. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921818112001658 Abstract Using data series on atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperatures we investigate the phase relation (leads/lags) between these for the period January 1980 to December 2011. Ice cores show atmospheric CO2 variations to lag behind atmospheric temperature changes on a century to millennium scale, but modern temperature is expected to lag changes in atmospheric CO2, as the atmospheric temperature increase since about 1975 generally is assumed to be caused by the modern increase in CO2. In our analysis we use eight well-known datasets: 1) globally averaged well-mixed marine boundary layer CO2 data, 2) HadCRUT3 surface air temperature data, 3) GISS surface air temperature data, 4) NCDC surface air temperature data, 5) HadSST2 sea surface data, 6) UAH lower troposphere temperature data series, 7) CDIAC data on release of anthropogene CO2, and 8) GWP data on volcanic eruptions. Annual cycles are present in all datasets except 7) and 8), and to remove the influence of these we analyze 12-month averaged data. We find a high degree of co-variation between all data series except 7) and 8), but with changes in CO2 always lagging changes in temperature. The maximum positive correlation between CO2 and temperature is found for CO2 lagging 11–12 months in relation to global sea surface temperature, 9.5–10 months to global surface air temperature, and about 9 months to global lower troposphere temperature. The correlation between changes in ocean temperatures and atmospheric CO2 is high, but do not explain all observed changes.[/quote]
