a reminder, should that be needed.

 

One low tech way to discourage exam cheating. Trouble is....how does one know whether a ring-in is substituting for a dunce???

Ok, guess I am too much of a nerd. Saw this in Motivational Poster thread but the images made not much sense for the message. The presumed message and take away is the image on the right shows there is more sea ice in 2009 than 1980. But the area in green and then in white is land mass, not sea. The sea area where the alleged change in sea ice is claimed to be occuring is the stuff in purple. Not much difference between them but a careful look shows a bit more sea ice in 1980. I guess this is what happens when people try and make the data fit the agenda (both ways). Here is the source of the images:
Polar Sea Ice Cap and Snow - Cryosphere Today

Now you can also debate if the U of I researchers aren't doing the same thing. There seems to be a lack of post 2007 data. Oh wait, it's there but kind of hidden as individual images and conveniently not part of the animations. Not much difference between Dec 2006 and Dec 2014. Have fun.

My daughter, an NP, sent me this. I think she's tired of my self diagnoses.
