Especially the 2 minute 20 secs mark. Freeze the clip at the 2 minute 45 seconds instant. The red is the observed data.

Yes it is a few years out of date now -but things have not got better.

Think about the implications.

Ironically, they are chilling.

“I like ice also as an indicator of climate change for its political neutrality.
Ice asks no questions, presents no arguments, reads no newspapers, listens to no debates. It is not burdened by ideology and carries no political baggage as it crosses the threshold from solid to liquid. It just melts.”

– Dr Henry Pollack, geophysicist, University of Michigan.
