Cognitive Dissonance
Cognitive Dissonance is a problem encountered by moonbats when their dogma is confronted by reality. For an example, look at the first entry below and compare the title of the article with the first clause:

Does the sea ice refreeze slowly, or does it refreeze at a record pace? Both! Neither! Nonalgorian data does not compute!
It looks like even the folks at The Daily Green have been shamed into changing the title.
As for the ice lagging "behind normal levels," Climate Skeptic points out that it is now exceeding normal levels.

On a tip from BUUUUURRRRNING HOT.

Don't worry, VH, I'm sure they'll find some way very soon to also attribute this to "climate change." And then exclaim that if we don't do something soon (read: adopt global socialism), the Northern Hemisphere will flood while the Southern will freeze into one big ice sheet.

"Still, the extent of sea ice recorded in November was well shy of the median extent observed over the past quarter century, as the image from Nov. 14"
Well shy of the median observed over the past quarter century!?!
25 years is a mere blip in geological time.

Hey, you need to animate that .gif and make lightning bolts shoot out of the Gorebots pincers and make his head spin.

This just in Scotland urged to begin teaching sex at age five. In related news, NAMBLA announced it was relocating and changing its name to ScoMBLA.

Cognitive Dissonance is not a problem for those that have abandoned reason. It doesn't actually need to get warmer to indicate Global Warming anymore, all you need to do is extrapolate any short term trend out to infinity, scream that the world is coming to an end, and blame people that have more than you (or, that have more than the little people you are seeking to manipulate).
