Snowfall on land in useless to seals! They build dens on ice with a hole in the floor so they can hunt for fish.

  What warmer temps are they talking about?...do they mean the cooler temps most of the world is now experiencing? You know, like UP is now DOWN and BLACK is now WHITE?

    Where is your data for that assertion?
    
    Here's mine:
    http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/img/climate/globalwarming...
    
    "Global surface temperatures have increased about 0.74°C (plus or minus 0.18°C) since the late-19th century, and the linear trend for the past 50 years of 0.13°C (plus or minus 0.03°C) per decade is nearly twice that for the past 100 years. The warming has not been globally uniform. Some areas (including parts of the southeastern U.S. and parts of the North Atlantic) have, in fact, cooled slightly over the last century. The recent warmth has been greatest over North America and Eurasia between 40 and 70°N. Lastly, seven of the eight warmest years on record have occurred since 2001 and the 10 warmest years have all occurred since 1995."

  Where do you think the ice comes from?

    Pardon me, but MajJohn was talking about snow falling on land.
    
    Sea ice comes from the sea freezing. Once the ice is there, the snow builds up on it.
