For global sea ice coverage, see, for example http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/global.daily.ice.area.withtrend.jpg

Where's the info about December ("such that the ice coverage is pretty much at the median level today") come from? Didn't see this in the article you linked to.
Thanks.

Does this mean that the poor ickle polar bears will be trapped in the re-freezing ice? They’re all doomed!

Another fine article.

"The point of no return will be just around the corner for generations to come."

Good point. Reminds me of Mark Russel's speech about politicians and "the crossroads" Every 4 years, we're back at the crossroads.

They have to be careful with all this talk of tipping points and no more ice by 2012. Should they ever let the public think that it's tipped, rather than tipping, there isn't much reason to keep funding more research and socialist programs.

The point of no return will be just around the corner for generations to come.
