One of the graphs from the link above in post #56
Yes.
And from other comparable graphs - ones showing ALL of the sea ice extent data available - sea ice is TODAY (this year!) right at the average of EVERY year.
If, in ten years, it is going to disappear entirely, Gore has to be able to tell us HOW exactly that will happen, when there is no trend or thawing evidence at all. (Yes, 2007) had a low ice level, but 2007 is GONE AWAY and any ice melting in 2009 MUST melt all of 2008’s area first. Which it is not doing.
One year of melting (2007) does not a trend make.
Ten years (1998 through 2008) of steady state ice DOES a trend make.
