I have now put the 2012 image in the post. Thanks for commenting.

What's needed desperately now is a firm commitment all over the world to comprehensive action, including the much-needed research, testing and monitoring.

NOAA continues to maintain that the high methane readings they are measuring over Barrow are from "anthropogenic sources" because they come from air that is not local to Barrow. This is an assumption on their part only and they have not done the analysis of Carbon13 to Carbon12 ratio to really see what the source of the higher methane level is. Is NOAA in denial, or just not realizing how rapidly things might be changing in the Arctic?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
