Let me guess, the Antarctic ice is melting right about now in the
middle of the southern hemispheres summer and the arctic ice will
start melting in August. Go figure.

About enough to cause a sea level rising by about 1 mm/yr.

Overall Sea level increase is (4.0mm + x * 0.18mm)/yr.,x=0. (2008),
x=92 (2100).

"Polar ice caps melting faster"
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle5683655.ece

"Cazenave’s data show that in the past 15 years sea levels have been
rising at 3.4mm a year, much faster than the average 1.7mm recorded by
tidal gauges over the past 50 years."

There are more contributors to sea level change, one of them is the
warming signal causing a steric effect.

The problem with tide gauges is that they see a local effect, satellite
altimetry sees a global steric + mass effect.

Nope. sorry. Wrong again.

The antarctic is losing nearly 100 cubic miles of ice per year.

And neither is David Christainsen. He is lying when he claims to be one,
and has admitted so himself.
