Thanks, Earnest.
Going back a week or two, when we speak of the Northern polar ice cap, we are dealing with a different set of variables than the southern Polar Region.
The North Pole is ground Zero. There is not much elevation, but highest latitudes. From here, glacier activity grows to Highest elevations at lowest latitude possible.
We are probably past the last peak global warming period for this inter glacial ice age. Why?
We have herds of deer in Alaska that are biologically changing. The Bucks are taking on female characteristics and their male parts are disappearing inside of themselves.
This is a defense measure and a cold measure. The bucks travel in the group of six does. The lead doe is out in front and the buck and others follow in line. Wolf Packs protection is my thought.
Also, as biology has it, cold testicles reduces production of sperm. Now, the testicles have moved inside the body for more warmth.
Just how freaking cold is it going to get?

Somebody tell Hansen...to forget the thermometer ..just check Nature....
We need a headline article with something like ...IceAge coming... Bucks vital parts are shrinking...
