The Arctic and Antarctic Sea-Ice Area Index Records versus Measured and Modeled Temperature Data by Nicola Scafetta, Adriano Mazzarella

“…Here we study the Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice area records provided by the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). These records reveal an opposite climatic behavior: since 1978 the Arctic sea-ice area index decreased, that is, the region has warmed, while the Antarctic sea-ice area index increased, that is, the region has cooled. …”
