But that only goes from the start of September 2009 to March 2010 - thus it should grow... it will then start to decline... so I'm confused with any comment on globabl warming - this process occurs every year. The more interesting bit would be - where does the ice get to.

We use it Sam

As we water our lawns and use it for other things in the summer months it disappears
After we have used it it enters the water table and after a time it naturally is process back it is taking longer to happen now because as population grows more is used

Lets face it it cant leave the earth so its here being processed in a natural mother earth process

oh it can leave the Earth - that's what we believe happened to Mars' atmosphere - blow away by the solar wind over a long period.
