Al Gore has put out a call for a Photoshop of drowning polar bears.

From Real Science: “1979 was the peak year for Arctic ice, yet 2012 has more ice around Greenland and Alaska than 1979 did.”

Same date satellite data seems to show that Iceland and everywhere else is iced over this year when they were feeling a little green 33 years ago.

Of course, our moral and intellectual superiors elsewhere in the press keep banging the drums of Man Caused Global Warming.

How much ice did the year 1979 have?

How nice for Greenland and Alaska.

What's happening to the rest of the world is rather important too.

Meanwhile the continental US had one of it least snowiest and warmest winters on record.

To be fair, this is what Al Gore hung his whole theory on and the ice caps on the mountains which are also growing the last story I read.

Care to provide some citation to that claim?

What? I thought all the ice was gonna melt and raise the oceans and drown us all. Dammit all that scuba gear I bought appears to be for nothing now. And my ark will be put on hold until Al Gore straightens all this out.
