It’s trivial to gussie up the presentation of any set of data using technologies that didn’t exist when the data were first collected — and so what?
What I’d care about is whether the data was gathered in the exact same manner in the two cases being compared. No fair having one set be created from manual visits and a second set being generated from a satellite without an attempt to reconcile discrepancies which the two methods will almost certainly introduce without resorting to something as crude as “hide the decline.”
“...........the warming of the region is shrinking the polar ice cap at an alarming rate”
What the hell is that? Can anyone define what an “alarming rate” is?
