I’m not sure why you would expect anything other than flippant responses.

How many people do you think take sea ice, or the lack thereof, seriously?

How many people do you think take data from the University of Illinois seriously?

How does sea ice, sea ice data, or even anomalous sea ice data matter to the lives of anyone?

I know when I wake up tomorrow morning, the first thing on my mind is going to be sea ice, what’s happening to it, where is it, who knows about it, and what are they saying.

Not.
