Why is Antarctic sea ice at record levels despite global warming?

Guardian: Antarctic ice floes extended further than ever recorded this southern winter, confounding the worlds most-trusted climate models. Its not expected, says Professor John Turner, a climate expert at the British Antarctic Survey. The worlds best 50 models were run and 95% of them have Antarctic sea ice decreasing over the past 30 years. The winter ice around the southern continent has been growing relatively constantly since records began in 1979. The US National Snow and Ice Data Centre...

EPA says new vehicle mileage hits record 24.1 mpg
2014-10-09 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Gas mileage for new cars and trucks in the U.S. averaged a record 24.1 miles per gallon last year, but gains in fuel economy are slowing. The Environmental Protection Agency says fuel economy last year rose one-half mile per gallon over the 2012 model year, mainly because automakers have improved gas engines and transmissions and added turbochargers to give smaller motors more power. Although last year's gain fell short of the 1.2 mpg improvement from 2011 to 2012, fuel economy is up almost...

BusinessGreen: New vehicles sold in the US reached record levels of fuel economy last year, saving motorists millions at the pump, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said yesterday. Model year 2013 vehicles achieved an average of 24.1 miles per gallon (mpg), marking a 0.5 mpg improvement on the previous year. Average carbon dioxide emissions also fell to a record low of 369 grams per mile in 2013. According to the EPA, fuel economy has now increased in eight of the last nine years and has improved...

NOAA: Record Antarctic Sea Ice Growth Linked To Its Staggering Loss Of Land Ice
2014-10-09 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: NOAA said in a news release Tuesday that "as counterintuitive as expanding winter Antarctic sea ice may appear on a warming planet, it may actually be a manifestation of recent warming." The most important thing to know about Antarctica and ice is that a large part of the South Pole`s great sheet of land ice is close to or at a point of no return for irreversible collapse. The rate of loss of that ice has reached record levels, tripling in the last five years alone. Only immediate action to sharply...
