Orbit is a better word because their orbits are not circular.They circle in the equatorial plane, but not exactly: they orbit in a plane just below the equatorial plane of the sun.[/CENTER]
Because gravity pulls them down a little bit, right?This image may give a better explanation of the idea

The sun is the upper disc and the persons resemble the planets and they circle around the sun in a plane lower than the plane of the disc or the sun.
Except for when ice travelled from north to south during a couple ice ages, right?And for this reason the head or the north pole receives more heat than the foot of the person or the south pole.
It did achieve record extent in 2014 but they only have records back to 1979.Antarctic sea ice is currently above average, but no where near record extent. Not sure why the spikes exist.

Well now, there are two serious problems with that argument. First, an argument using a regional phenomenon to disprove a global trend is dead in the water. Second, the Antarctic could warm quite a lot and still be well below zero on average. One consequence of warming is increased precipitation, and increased precipitation in the Antarctic means the ice cover will grow.

Oh look, another one of your quality posts. Ask me if I missed them.
GIGO. Why would it be a surprise? Were they really expecting accuracy when the computer modelers toss out data that's inconvenient to the narrative?“It’s not expected,” says Professor John Turner, a climate expert at the British Antarctic Survey. “The world’s best 50 models were run and 95% of them have Antarctic sea ice decreasing over the past 30 years.”
Take your pills!Lake effect snowfalls, on a massive scale.
