VK before you speak of the disappearance of the polar ice cap, I suggest that you look at the data yourself rather than the political blather. Start with the Cryosphere Today site maintained by the University of Illinois. Here you can look at the actual data and find that the polar ice caps is slightly higher than the 1979-2000 mean. You do not need to be a ‘rocket scientist’ to see that the total sea ice area is not decreasing, but rather increasing. If you wonder why the politicians are saying otherwise, do the logical thing and follow the money.
