Watch out for global cooling

Apparently, at least one scientist thinks we're in for 20-30 years of global cooling rather than global warming. According to him there's a "multi-decadal oscillation" in the oceans that correlates to global warming and cooling trends observed over the last century or so that much more closely corresponds to recent changes in climate than the AGW theories do.

Antarctic Mountains

Apparently scientists are studying the ice sheet covering Antarctica. Among other things they've learned that there exists a large mountain range that rivals the Alps in height. The interesting thing to me was the following:

The mountains would probably have been ground down almost flat if the ice sheet had formed slowly. But the presence of jagged peaks might mean the ice formed quickly, burying a landscape under up to 4 km (2.5 miles) of ice.

Now, how could that have happened?

Sea ice grew faster than ever

Why is the sea ice growing at such a rapid pace when all the "models" are predicting global warming could cause sea ice to disappear completely? Maybe the models are wrong, eh?

You can read more here for proof that sea ice is at the same level now as it was in 1979 when satellite tracking began.
