Arctic sea ice is increasing? LOL Chucky must be looking at the world upside down.

Antarctic sea ice is increasing, but according to researchers, at 1/3 the rate that arctic ice is decreasing. Furthermore, this is only temporary before Antarctic sea ice is expected to decrease. In fact, Antarctic land ice has been decreasing, which contributes to sea level rise, and the reason that the sea ice has been increasing is because the melting freshwater freezes at a higher temperature than ocean water, plus that part of the planet is windier than it used to be, which also increases the expansion of sea ice.

Chucky's other 3 "facts" are equally false, by the way, as Lady Quagga points out.
Thank you, Eric. I do allow for the fact that Crichton might have changed his mind by now, as unlikely as that might be. But impugning the character of scientists as these climate change conspiracy theories do, I find despicable.
