Arctic sea ice is declining rapidly, yet Anthony Watts sez it may rebound! Is he claiming that an ice age cometh? Not really. He usually leaves that nonsense to his "essayists" like David "funny sunny" Archibald. Yet if you read his headline without the article he copied and pasted (archived here), that's the conclusion you'd draw.Here's Anthony's wrong headline:
BOMBSHELL: Scripps says Arctic Sea Ice may return, forecasts of loss based on ‘oversimplified arguments’
Once again, as usual, Anthony couldn't understand a simple press release - or if he did he decided to mislead his readers. (Which is worse - being seen as an idiot or as a liar?)
Anthony Watts and his bombshells are usually a flop - his bombshells have a habit of going pear-shaped:)
The paper that he referenced was by Till J.W. Wagner and Ian Eisenman of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It was about how:
- Arctic sea ice is disappearing because of global warming, but
- IF greenhouse gases dropped (or we were desperate enough to do some geo-engineering) and the Earth cooled again
- THEN the disappeared Arctic sea ice would come back
- ELSE it won't!
