But Alastair the melt rate isn't linear every recor has ups and downs as
opposed to a stedy delcline or rise.


EXACTLY.
People keep telling you this when you claim a short term change
in some indicator that favours your stance, as you did with the
sea ice a few months ago. Such changes mean *nothing* in the
overall trend.
You can't use the opposite argument when somebody turns
it back on you!
