#3 As I mentioned yesterday melting sea ice is a lagging indicator. What we have seen is the result of climate warming 10 or 20 years ago. Climate has stopped warming and even started to cool a little, so sea ice will stop melting.

#4 Ozone holes are the earth's natural way of venting itself, like the exhaustpipe or tailpipe of any car - adding normal hemispheric air/wind circulation patterns to solar-based forces, etc should raise temps over the poles as a matter of course. Various news reports from yesterday indic that many of these pro-global warming surveys which use the ice caps as evidencia only focus on a small or the same part of the ice caps, thus while the caps in total gain new ice, by these limited survey areas these scientists think the caps are losing ice.
