Billy … I too had noticed the late Nov 2023, the late Dec 2023 and now the mid Jan 2024 fudge factor adjusting every time the sea ice extent gets to the one standard deviation zone … 3 times shows that it isn’t just a coincidence and that active data management is at play …. torturing the sea ice data until it yields the desired alarmist result.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
