Subject: "Better read this sitting down"

"The recent warm period in the Arctic is, however, not yet as long
as that in the early-to-mid 20th century.... Patterns of recent warming
in the Arctic are more consistent with changes in the NAM than those earlier
in the 20th century. It is in an concluding section and I think we will need
to add a figure into the main part of the text. So Arctic warmth and its 'impression
in a time series plot' depends how much you smooth it. If you decadally
smooth then the last 15 years are warmest."
