The Antarctic continues to embarrass the prognosticators as it exhibits very strong sea ice growth. In fact the ice is growing by significant amounts (a total of 17% since 1979) and in direct defiance of the orders issued by the computer models.

For the month of December both sea ice extent and concentration were up significantly over 1979 (the first year satellite measurements were available for the full year), 17.3% for ice extent & 18.3% for ice concentration.

Granted this is the Antarctic but we're seeing increases in ice at the South Pole. This does not fit into any of your computer models.
