2012 time-series of ice extent using sea ice concentration data

Video 1. This animation shows the 2012 time-series of ice extent using sea ice concentration data from the DMSP SSMI/S satellite sensor. The black area represents the daily average (median) sea ice extent over the 1979-2000 time period. Layered over top of that are the daily satellite measurements from January 1 – September 14, 2012. A rapid melt begins in July, whereby the 2012 ice extents fall far below the historical average. Source: NOAA's Environmental Visualization Laboratory.

However; all man did was put down a chemical blanket that doesn't let the sun's heat reflect back into space. Its the sun that is doing all the work. _Its more powerful than man.....

Because, in the twisted mind of some deniers, only Gawd can destroy or fix the climate at will.

The only upside I see to this is when Pigboy is sitting in his Palm Beach home and his whalish self gets drowned. Hopefully there will be a video of that
