A modest warming in the polar regions will result in more arctic ice, not less.
More moisture in the air results in more snowfall which, in turn, means more polar ice.
The world's ocean levels have been rising at about 7" century. From 1900-1940, there was a drop in sea levels.
In 1992, SCIENCE magazine published a paper based on ice core studies that concluded projected warming would reduce the sea level.
Dr. Fred Singer, professor emeritus of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia, says, "One would expect severe weather to be less frequent because of reduced equator-to-pole temperature gradients."
Smaller temperature differences between the north pole and equator results in milder weather.
Gosh, less violent storms, less number of violent storms, no global floods, and more ice in the polar region.
What are we going to be afraid of now?
