In reality, global sea ice is diminishing.
"Sea ice increases in Antarctica do not make up for the accelerated Arctic sea ice loss of the last decades, a new NASA study finds. As a whole, the planet has been shedding sea ice at an average annual rate of 13,500 square miles (35,000 square kilometers) since 1979, the equivalent of losing an area of sea ice larger than the state of Maryland every year."
“Even though Antarctic sea ice reached a new record maximum this past September, global sea ice is still decreasing,” said Claire Parkinson, author of the study and climate scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. “That’s because the decreases in Arctic sea ice far exceed the increases in Antarctic sea ice.”
“When I give public lectures or talk with random people interested in the topic, often somebody will say something in the order of ‘well, the ice is decreasing in the Arctic but it’s increasing in the Antarctic, so don’t they cancel out?’” Parkinson said. “The answer is no, they don’t cancel out.”

Further, Antarctic sea ice is shrinking, dropping below the long-term average:

Mine is from this month. (mid summer) Yours is from last year.
Mine is from this month. Yours is from 2004.
Is the ice growing or shrinking.
You tell me.
That was one screen in the vid, it's 1984 to 2016. Should I get snarky now?
I went off the pic, my mistake.
We have had some warming in the arctic, over the last thirty years.
During the same period, we have seen ice growing in the antarctic.
This summer, the sea ice in the arctic is looking pretty good.
Alarmists predicted no summer ice by 2013.
Lets hope you're right.I don't give a crap what some asshole said years ago. The warming trend continues and overall polar ice is in decline, from what science I see.
You want the ice caps to melt? Hoping for ocean front property on an island? Once again, "Some men just want to watch the world burn."Lets hope you're right.
You think too much.You want the ice caps to melt? Hoping for ocean front property on an island? Once again, "Some men just want to watch the world burn."
Can you summarize?
It appears Alex Newman is a high profile AGW denier:

You think too much.
Can you find a good graph of sea level rise over the last 100 years?
