Climate science and politics has become a race to stupidity by both sides. The loudest voices of doom dominate the environmentalists while the absolute deniers are the loudest voice on the skeptics side.
Today's example is
Arctic Ocean ice cover growing by sixty percent compared to 2012. Great news on the surface. It certainly proves false doom sayers who
claimed the Arctic Ocean would be ice free in 2013.

However, the Guardian (who has played fast and loose with climate science before but not this time) points out that
this sixty percent still is part of an overall decline.

Now there is an overall "pause" (or if you see it as a "cessation") in global warming that was not foreseen in modelling. It remains to be seen whether or not this large growth in sea ice actually means something or is merely a short-term bounce. While it cannot be simply dismissed it is foolish to declare the problem over. Scientist will be trying to figure out exactly what and why is going for a long time.
