In the mean time the Arctic, Greenland and the Antarctic keep melting
and
ice breaking up. Explain that. Me thinks you are "out to lunch."

No, the Arctic ice is recovering, can't say much about the others but
these
things happen normally all the time. Temps go up and down without human
intervention. AGW is treating the planet as if it should be in stasis.

Wrong! The arctic sea ice recovered slightly from the 2006 minimum but as of
April 2009, it was less in area than 1979-2000 average. Furthermore, the
trend line is a downward slope and the Arctic on average has lost 40% of its
pre 1980 ice. Also, new ice formed is now very thin and is vulnerable to the
present melt season. You delude yourself if you think GW does not exist. The
evidence is clear for anybody with half a brain to observe. See
http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/index.html

Just last week a chunk of ice the size of Manhattan broke of one of the
Antarctic shelves and Greenland is melting at an advanced rate. Because of
the loss of ice the earth's albedo is decreasing causing a positive feedback
effect with increased solar absorption.
