The data set has very definitely been lost in the quagmire... I can't even *find* it. Anything I do find is suspect. I keep seeing people cherry-pick data. "Sea ice is the same as it was in 1970!" "But that's just for one year, if you look at the last 5 years, it's way less!" "But if you look at the last 30 years, it's obvious that it cycles and we're just in X part of the cycle!" And so on and so forth, with some people saying it's just regular old long-term climate change and that we have nothing to do with it. I've refrained from drawing any sort of conclusion because I simply don't have enough data that I know is good.
