Arctic Sea Ice Anomaly Graph Recalibration Pool- Place Your Bets!

[hatrack]

I'm going for Friday - how 'bout you guys?

[phantom power]

1. Friday. Sure. You know, this is really fucking remarkable.

:puke:

2. Hully crapola, it's still dropping!

I'll take one week today, Wednesday October 31st.

4. Friday? What happens Friday? n/t

5. delete. dupe.

6. It added about one pixel yesterday, then another 3 or so today.

Thursday (tomorrow) might very well be the day they have to grab their emergency tape dispenser again.

Once more my pessimism is shining all happy and bright.

7. I got one thing to say:

[tom_paine]

8. They need a graph that goes from -100% to +100%

I mean, is that presumptious or neglecting of the observable trend in the scientific data?

Or am I threatening the job security and livelihoods of the grad students who depend on updating climate change graphs to put food on their family?

[hatrack]

9. I think they need a graph that goes to 11.

You know, for when you need that final push over, over, the cliff.

10. 10/29 is my guess

I was going to guess 11/2 but then looked back a few weeks. Pretty amazing to watch all that ice fall off a cliff.

11. Not yet today....

Maybe this afternoon. :P

[hatrack]

12. I think they reset & update around 2:30 CDT

Check back in for the latest results - and remember - you can't win if you don't play!!

13. I'm looking into my crystal ball for today at 2:30 CDT...

I've been working at a costume store ('cause environmental consulting sucks)... I see myself picking up clothes off the floor of the changing room... I see myself laughing at a customer who asks if we carry mens' costumes... I see myself digging through the bag with the afro wigs looking for a really huge brown afro... I see myself taking the halo off the Hillary mask and putting it on the Nixon mask just for chuckles... it's hazy... hold on... I see the sea ice chart getting recalibrated! YES!!!!! :woohoo:

[XemaSab]

14. My crystal ball broke

Today at 2:30 CDT I was telling this bratty little girl that the costume store was not a playground and to chill the f*** out, and the anomaly chart DID NOT reset.

Maybe I was seeing tomorrow's future. :think:

[Systematic Chaos]

15. It could inch back up for all we know...

...but I seriously doubt it. I'm waiting for that final pixel that forces them to recalibrate to 3.25 or 3.5 any day now. :(

[hatrack]

16. Damnit!

I guess I owe all the E&E regulars a beer, or some absinthe, or at the very least some metheglin.

17. The green fairy

:9

18. Today I was listening to the owner of the store

tell a guy that the sailor shirt he was wearing was circa WWII, to which he said "Oh, like 20's? I was looking for something from the 40's."

:banghead:

[Systematic Chaos]

19. C'mon 3.25! DO IT FOR AMERICA!

:sarcasm:

:kick:

[Systematic Chaos]

20. The anomaly has inched closer to 3M KM^2

Still no need for more tape though.
