Antarctic ice area was poised to break the all time record for either pole today, but UIUC has not updated their table to day 2012.7316. They have however updated their Arctic table to day 2012.7316.
Why the delay? I can imagine that there are some interesting E-mails flying around at climate HQ right now.
Give them time to change their measuring techniques and/or “Correct” all of the previous data.
Well we know they aren’t trying to Hide the Decline.
“…..interesting E-mails flying around at climate HQ right now.”
Out of office reply – UIUC staff will be out of the office for the next 3 months attending an ethics seminar presented by Peter Gleick.
