[...] The simple truth is that NONE of the observed real world facts match the panic stricken ‘green world’ theories and models. Temperatures havent risen in a decade. Sea levels are rising by millimetres not feet and have been barely discernable over the last 30 years. The Southern polar cap has been increasing in thickness and extent for many years. The warmest decade recorded in the modern era was the 30s Not the last decade with 1934 the hottest of all. 2007/08 has seen some of the coldest weather ever recorded in modern times worldwide.

Why not put the global sea ice area at the top of the page, and the NH and SH beside each other? Also don’t put extra graphs that emphasize the NH unless you also use the same style graph for the SH.

Is that too much to ask?

I looked at the Cryosphere homepage.
There were five graphs at the top of the page in the title area. All were for the Northern Hemisphere, however to find that out you have to click on the graph. Their titles are “Recent Ice Area”, “Hemispheric Ice Area”, “Hemispheric Anomaly”, “Seasonal Sea Ice” and “Tale of the Tape”.
There were only three graphs at the bottom left of the page. All were for the Southern Hemisphere. To find out they are SH you do NOT have to click on the graph. Their titles are “Recent S. H. Ice Area”, “S. Hemispheric Ice Area” and “S. Hemispheric Ice Anomaly”.
There is ONE graph on the bottom right of the page titled “Global Sea Ice Area”.

In summary, all graphs that show a lessening of sea ice are located in the title section of the page. All graphs that show that sea ice has increased are relegated to the bottom of the page.

The question is: Is this just incredibly sloppy or is it deceptive??

Since people are definitely being deceived, I have to say it is deceptive.

another_name, now ICECAP has linked to this thread it will get more readers so I’ll respond to your continued denial of the facts.

People should go to the Cryosphere homepage to see the deceptive labelling for themselves.

This in microcosm is the heart of climate debate. Warming Believers deny inconvenient facts and obfuscate in the hope of confusing others, while Sceptics encourage others to verify the facts for themselves.

Looks like great fun. You can’t have any fun in life without leaving a carbon footprint. If I took this trip I don’t think I would call myself an eco-tourist.
If you believe what geologists tell us, a warming globe is a lot better prospect than one that is recooling.
