The sea ice surrounding Antarctica was found to be at its highest this August but is expected to break the records by the end of September. The latest August figure is at a shockingly massive 18.7 million square kilometers! According to the State of the Climate Report data released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, this amount of sea ice is at a record 4.5 percent higher than average from 1981 to 2010, and the highest since records were kept beginning year being 1979. Now...ask ANY geologist and they'll smirk at that-global-warming-stuff; but they'll gladly inform you that we are in fact still in an ICE AGE. PS: for 200 million years - when Dinos had their 160 million year moment on planet earth- there was NO ice at either poles!
