The polar ice is still there despite it supposed to be gone 10 years ago,...
And it looks like the ice in Anarctica intends to stay there. Sea and land ice in antarctic are both increasing and the average amount in 2012 is higher than the average for the past 33 years when records have been kept. At least
one day in 2012 set an all-time record for Antarctic ice for that day of the year.
So how can Antarctica be setting ice records while the rest of the surface temperatures are experiencing all-time highs? You certainly cannot explain that by using the greenhouse-gas-dominant model used by the IPCC. Instead, it seems that temperature variations that are caused by changes in the amount of cloud cover will cause Antarctica temperatures to move in the OPPOSITE direction from the rest of the land masses. Why, because Antarctica is so reflective that cloud cover results in heating while clear days result in cooling. This is the opposite of the effect clouds have most other places on Earth.
So only expect Antarctica temperatures to rise during periods when solar sunspot activity is low or greenhouse gas concentrations are quite a bit higher, or both.
