re: #31 Charles

Look. The simple fact is that George Will made a false statement in that article. The University of Illinois’ Arctic Climate Research Center did not say what he claimed they said.

I concede the following points:

1) The University of Illinois’ Arctic Climate Research Center did not say what he claimed they said.

But,

2) I think the main issues is whether or not what he said was true about the size of the ice mass after all;

3) If the Arctic ice was underestimated by a mass the size of California, then it is possible that nobody was in a position to judge the size of the ice on February 15th…including the scientists;

4) In that case, the truth is that the ice is actually increasing in size;

5) The scientists were using data that was inaccurate and should not have been used to refute what George Will’s ultimate argument was: That Ice is the same as it was around 1979, rather than what Al Gore and the alarmists are saying.
