Hot and cold

When the Arctic ice melts, scientists and environmentalists rush to tell us that this is a sign of global warming. Now, however, when the Arctic ice has dramatically increased (your report, 5 April), these same groups of people are counselling not to interpret this in terms of global warming as this ice growth is "weather related" and that weather is not an indicator of climate.

Sorry folks, but you can't have it both ways.
