James Overland of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration claims that an ozone hole over the Antarctic is masking conditions there, keeping temperatures low. Later the ozone hole will close up, so we're still doomed.

Gareth Marshall of the British Antarctic Survey floats this one: climate change causes Antarctic winds to blow harder, trapping colder air. But this will decrease at an undisclosed future date, so we're still doomed.

Gabbles Marshall:

The tea leaves point to a minimal amount of sea ice next September, that would be the same as we had last summer, 40 percent loss compared to 20 years ago.

At least tea leaves are an improvement over the phony computer models they've been using to find their predetermined results.

gee, in the summer when i don't close the freezer properly, it fills up with ice! i used to think that it was because in the summer, the freezer is the last cold spot in the hot humid kitchen so collects the moisture, but now i see how wrong I've been, and in fact, in the summer my kitchen is not really hot and humid. that is so reassuring.
