evidence: They’re at a record level." – ITV interview. [...] Most scientists did not predict that the Arctic ice cap would be "gone by now." They do think it will be gone in a matter of decades. As can be seen from the NSIDC map, ice at the Arctic is not "at a record level." The ice fluctuates month to month and year to year but the long term secular trend is obviously steeply downward. This declining northern ice cover is a direct result of humans farting greenhouse, heat-trapping gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at the rate of 41 billion metric tons a year! They belch out this nasty, toxic gas by burning coal and gas for heating and gasoline and diesel for transportation.
