Greater or lesser sea ice is just a mother nature thing. Nothing any human or group of humans can do about it.

There are two problems with the sea ice anomalies (besides the obvious...there is an agenda driving the "lower than normal crowd"):

1) The data is only from the satellite era, 1979 - present. That is a very short time, geologically speaking.

2) Who arbitrarily decided what "0" was? Who decided was was "normal" and why? Who's to say what we have now isn't 2 standard deviations over the 2K year average?

No one...that's who. And there in lies the problem.
