It seems that sea ice levels have remained the same or trended upwards slightly over the last 30 years.
This contradicts the global warming industry and throws serious doubts on the computer models they have used to predict some kind of flooding armaggeddon.
Here is a link to the research that has been done which demonstrates this:

Should we thererfore risk damaging our economy based on what looks like a fallacy. Perhaps Bush has been right all along in defying Kyoto.
Interesting stuff, I wonder where it will lead.
A further thought. Sea ice itself does not cause sea levels to rise, it would only be ice melting from land which would do that. I am therefore assuming that they are using this as an indication that the melt of 'land ice' should not be worse than that if sea ice. Most 'land ice' is in the antartic of course but is it thinning?
Lots more questions for scientists to answer there.
