Classic.
This month, the National Snow and Ice Data Centre, which is part of the University of Colorado, said that Arctic ice coverage was the third-lowest since satellite records began in 1979.
Horrors!
The coverage was greater than in 2007 and 2008 largely because of cloudy skies during late summer. Each of the past five years has been one of the five lowest years.
Ah, so is that good news or bad news? Are the 'cloudy skies' ameliorating the impact of 'climate change' or have they reversed or merely masked the trend? Or have we moved into a period of Global Cooling anyway?
The BBC went absolutely orgasmic over this of course and Prof Wadhams duly got his few minutes interview on Radio 4 this morning. Maybe that's why the Warmenists do it? They're just attention-seekers?

Or maybe 2007/2008 had excessively low levels of cloud cover?
We really need a database of all of these stories, covering the measure taken and the comparison of measures and a date that the story broke.
That way, when a story DOESN'T appear next year (because it doesn't fit the agenda), or the measure is altered ("we had some cloud cover") we can compare it.
