Arctic update
Aug. 26th, 2008 02:11 pmWell, the Northwest Passage looks to be open in a couple of days time, so that's later than last year's historic 11th August. Meanwhile estimates put the sea ice melt at about the same as last year, give or take, in a year which had a colder summer. Can't wait for a warm one. :(
Meanwhile Stephen Goddard, of The Reg's controversial articles, has recanted after being pointed at better source data, saying, "My apologies to Dr. Meiers and Dr. Serreze, and NSIDC. Their analysis, graphs and conclusions were all absolutely correct. Arctic ice is indeed melting nearly as fast as last year, and this is indeed troubling." (though I doubt the Reg's baffling denialist editorial stance will tout this much). Yay for Goddard being man enough to re-analyse the data.
Hm, can I use "recant" without casting this as a holy war? ;)
