"On a global basis, world sea ice in April 2008 reached levels that were ‘unprecedented' for the month of April in over 25 years," Steve McIntyre wrote on Climateaudit.org on May 4.

Ahhhhh... but Mr. McIntyre, although the extent of the sea ice is at a record, the ice is "new' and it's "thin." You must have missed Al Gore's memo. They want the "old" ice, not "new" ice!

And it has to be floating on the sea. The fact that Antarctica has record ice depth on land (and that’s mostly ‘old’ ice) doesn’t matter either.

Anybody can view comparisons for themselves-it is measured by depth determined by satellite:
