Rumors of the Death of Arctic Sea Ice Greatly Exaggerated
A complicated multi-faceted subject. If we all had a time machine we could zip forward a hundred years and see the answer, unfortunately we lack that ability. Generally unless people can see it with their own eyes no amount of railing will change their position, once entrenched. All I can add is that I have worked with modelers before. In complicated problems they always ends up at a place where history can’t be matched and here they start to knob it. I don’t blame them, the reality is far too complicated; short cuts are made to get an answer that seems right to them. What seems right comes from their own history with data sets, which in this case is rapidly evolving. Related to this, the sad status is that a new science, that should be evolving in the background, has been thrust prematurely into the idiotic limelight of politics and money. So, do they dance for their cash? That’s what we all want to know.
