Re: Arctic sea ice coverage back to 'normal' levels

Also, anyone suggesting that there will be a high correlation between the increase in temperature and the increase in CO2 over the short term is daft. There are all sorts of climate variances that will occur that will mean temperature will vary. Your graph shows temps are not accelerating at the mom...

Not disputing it was poor form, just a technicality that it wasnt cheating.
