Antarctic Sea Ice Approaching The Largest Anomaly Ever Recorded | Real Science: I took the above graph from this website and altered it a bit.  I turned the red ice data into blue when it is ‘growing’ so it is clearer what is happening.  Oddly enough, the hockey stick graph lives on…with colder climate projection!
