Also, too...
http://phys.org/news/2014-07-antarctic-sea-ice-expansion-overestimated.html New research suggests that Antarctic sea ice may not be expanding as fast as previously thought. A team of scientists say much of the increase measured for Southern Hemisphere sea ice could be due to a processing error in the satellite data. The findings are published today in The Cryosphere, a journal of the European Geosciences Union (EGU). Cheers, Scott. |

Lots of errors in measurement and modeling
Unfortunately, however, when we find the errors the change is almost always for the worse. We're too optimistic, not too pessimistic as Box likes to think. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |
