All Time Lows

"All time" being defined as post-1979.

Interesting . . .

"Since 1979, when satellites were introduced as measuring tools for ice in the Arctic, the ice as declined at around 6,8% per decade."

That's right - but by putting "all time lows" in the headline the article writer leaves a false impression.

It would be like this analogy: If a gallon of gas were somehow to get down to around a dollar, I could write a screaming headline saying "Price of gasoline at all time lows" - which might be true post 1979.

But in the early 70s, gas was 35-50 cents a gallon. So the headline would be misleading.

I'll admit I'm a "climate chage" skeptic. I don't mean I am skeptical that climate is changing (as long as the Earth has been around, it always has - and it always will). What I AM skeptical of is the idea that "mankind" is causing it - or even affecting it very much.

But that said - your side gains nothing - perhaps even loses points - when it is deliberately seen as hyperventilating over things. It loses whatever credibility it might have.

Where were you buying gas? It never saw 50 cents again after the 1973 embargo.

That said, you're nit picking...the fact is that the decline has been steady for over 30 years...that should be the compelling fact...
