Geez Batt,
you are really pushing the Greenies Global Warming SCAM that everyone else knows is just a Greenie SCAM to siphon money to the UN from the fraudulent Carbon Taxes.
The Arctic sea ice was smaller in 2012 and is currently affected by perfectly normal weather conditions such as the current El Nino all of which have happened before.
If you want to point to the REAL culprit, point to the SUN which controls Earth's climate.
The really good thing is that the essential high CO
2 levels are greening the deserts and making the world's food crops grow vigorously helping to feed the ever growing number of the world's hungry mouths.
Put yourself in this position. You're a Professor or Doctor of Science, with reasonably bleak employment prospects. A Government flunky approaches you and says "We would like to put you on a "x" years contract to bring us some proof of Global Warming (now Climate Change) so we can scare the sh*t out of our people to introduce new taxes and levies to increase our revenue".
Your only response would be "can I employ 50 of my colleagues and their offsiders to help me with this project?" Of course says the Government flunky spare no cost as long as you give us the answer we want. And there Ladies and Gentlemen is how this sh*t happens.
Now how a bit of SCIENTIFIC FACT for a refreshing change from the Greenie lying hypocritical Agenda 21 hysteria.
Weather Ripples and Climate TidesViv Forbes Mon 14 Mar 2016 07:33:33 am 88 COMMENTS
Every time a north wind blows hot air over Adelaide, some Chicken Little cries “Global Warming”. And when an El Nino predictably causes a hot year like 1998 or 2015/16, some sensation-seeking celebrity will trumpet “hottest year eevah”.They are watching short-term weather ripples and waves and ignoring the underlying climate tide. Daily, monthly and yearly temperature records will always be equalled or broken by extreme weather – that is what weather does.
In the medium term, Earth temperature trends are influenced by variations in solar activities as evidenced by sun-spot cycles. These variations affect solar intensity, cosmic rays, clouds and Earth temperature, causing medium-term climatic events like the Little Ice Age and the Modern Warming. There are persuasive signs that recent solar activity has peaked. So we can expect cooler weather soon.
But to see what the climate is doing we must look long-term and study the glacial cycles. The Milankovitch cycles of Earth in the solar system control these. See:
http://www.indiana.edu/~geol105/images/gaia_chapter_4/milankovitch.htmIs it warming or cooling now?
See this very informative video by Professor Bob Carter:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpfMM3bVbhQ;t=159There are many signs that Earth’s climate is gradually cooling (as Prof Carter shows in the video above).
For example, snow and ice is accumulating.
In the Antarctic, Mawson’s Hut and the Colbeck Hut are being progressively buried in ice. In Greenland, “The Lost Squadron”, which was forced to land on the Greenland Ice sheet in 1942, was rediscovered 50 years later buried under 268 feet of ice. Many glaciers are just a few thousand years old, and Himalayan glaciers are growing.
To read more about things getting buried in the snow and ice, see Mawson’s Hut:

http://theinconvenientskeptic.com/2012/04/himalaya-glaciers-are-growing/We live in the Holocene warm interval within the Pleistocene Ice Age – a time of recurring cycles of ice separated by brief warm interludes.
Earth’s climate is driven by solar system cycles, and climate changes appear first in the Northern Hemisphere which has more land in the sensitive sub-polar regions. The GRIP ice core from Greenland shows the long-term average temperature there peaked 7,000 years ago and has trended down for at least 3,000 years.
Greenland now cooler than 8000 year ago:
We will still have hot days and heat waves but the climate mid-summer has passed and the temperature tide is going out. Spreading alarm about short-term temperature fluctuations of a fraction of a degree is a distraction.
No warming for 58 years:

In 1998, El Nino caused a warm weather spike. In 2015-6 another El Nino created another warm spike. That’s what weather does – it fluctuates.
Long-term climate trends are more significant.
We live in the autumn of the warm Holocene period within the Pleistocene Ice Age – an era of lethal ice separated by brief, warm, carbon-rich, life-supporting interludes. The long-term peak occurred 7,000 years ago – glacial winter lies ahead.
