| Quote | | In a rebound from 2012's record low an unbroken ice sheet more than half the size of Europe already stretches from the Canadian islands to Russia's northern shores, days before the annual re-freeze is even set to begin. (emphasis added) |
and one of the Grauniad's environmental bloggers explains the problems with the report. Of course, this doesn't fit in with Barry's narrative, so don't expect a fair hearing. |
Its like the tide going out - The waves wash in and out, gradually receding, but every now and then a slightly larger wave surges up the beach.
Up jumps Barry and declares it evidence that the tide is not going out at all and that it proves the moon has no effect on the oceans ... After all, if the tide were really going out you would expect EVERY wave to come in less far than the last one. |
But can you explain it?
To O'Reilly.

That is raising the bar by several meters! |
Bar goes up, bar goes down. You can't explain that.
