Never let the truth get in the way of good old-fashioned, down-to-the-bone, leftist hysteria.
Recall the amusing little story from late last week that flung yet another delicious dagger into the heart of the Global Warming industry – the report of a glitch in satellite sensors that caused scientists to miscalculate, i.e. underestimate, how much arctic sea ice there was by nearly 200,000 square miles. Some had apparently noticed that there was actually ice in areas listed by the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) as “open ocean.”
The error was triggered by a problem known as “sensor drift,” according to scientists at the NSIDC. In short, it turns out there’s actually more ice up there than originally thought – an area that equals the size of the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and all of New England combined.
This story, indeed, received a fair amount of play over the weekend and into early this week.

Bump for later read.
More is less if you’re committed to shutting down American industry and destroying the economy.
Brilliant!
“Sensor Drift” is Spanish for “We need another research grant”.
Sounds like another question on the definition of “is”.
minor details....
Sometimes I wish I was an eleventy billionaire. I would publicly and loudly challenge Algore to a very large bet on whether there will be ice at the north pole in 2013...as he has publicly stated there will not be
