It is nice to see a few old names still here after my sojourn in other
realms of web space :-)

Presently, I am inflicting RealClimate http://www.realclimate.org/
with my heretical views on global warming, and have been presented
with a question I cannot answer. I was wondering if anyone here could
help? The question is at

#288 Alastair, I take it you are from the UK? Well I am a little
puzzled by the met office no longer displaying sea ice extent yearly
projections until 2100. I am getting convinced that the ice and Polar
atmospheric models were off by 10 to 20 years, would have really
appreciated seeing their projections still, as I am curious about how
we take it from here. Is the met office ice model merely wrong
timewise? It will be very good to understand where the error is,
especially compare the 2007 melt with 2007 projection, it would help
narrrow down a bug, and perfect future models. I don't think its bad
yo be wrong, it is terrible when you can't know why.

I actually know where the models are going wrong but I am sure that
the MetOffice do not. However, I would be very interested in hearing
their take on this. Feel free to answer directly to RealClimate or
here.

Cheers, Alastair.
