"They key phrase here is: “weather stations near the north pole.” The northernmost weather station is Alert, Nunavut and it is 817 km (508 mi) from the North Pole. That’s like trying to gauge the temperature in Indianapolis from a warmer temperature reading in Atlanta."
Do you think you can gauge the weather when you are 500 miles away from it?
If that is correct, should all the papers etc have run with the headlines that they did last week? If you were a newspaper editor and knew this was how the information was being derived, would you feel comfortable giving your readers this information?
