Not sure what you mean. More ice means more cold. Warming means less ice. If someone says the ice caps will melt and they don't then you have to question the accuracy of their models.

Well, if you don't want to believe Forbes or Heartland how about NASA?
Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches New Record Maximum | NASA
Antarctica posted a 35 record high for sea ice less than a year ago.
Not that it proves anything since climate is such a complex system, but it's enough to raise some serious questions.
When someone says the polar ice caps will melt and then NASA says Antarctica has more sea ice than it has seen in 35 years any sane person will immediately see that something isn't adding up.
One thing is for sure. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and humans have increased the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere and it is causing radiative forcing. I don't think climate sensitivity is as high as they claim it is though. We would be seeing warmer temperatures and less ice if what they said was true.
Plus, even if we are responsible and even if we don't come up with a technological solution to counter an problems, a few degrees warmer over 100 years is barely anything. We went from riding horses to space shuttles in that amount of time. Do you really think we can't convert CO2 into something useful for us? I for one am not concerned. Permaculture teaches there is no such thing as waste, just unused resources.
Here's a recent technology that is interesting:
Artificial Photosynthesis Advance Hailed As Major Breakthrough
CO2 + sunlight + bacteria -> energy + O2
That one might even have the capability of going too far in the opposite direction and removing too much CO2.
There's also the fact the more CO2 means more plant growth which means more CO2 consumption. Green house growers will pump in CO2 to around 1000 ppm (250% of current levels) in order to get higher yields.
