You are not a serious person, so there is no use in our continuing this conversation. I thought you were at first. Do you see the 2+ and 2.5 in my post below? 3 standard deviations is 1 in 500. I was a little high. But 100, 200 or 500 , 3 times in 6 means it is not random. Period. When the # of times clusters like that it means there is little chance it is random. You can have the last word, but I am done. << In fact you never mentioned "2.5" anywhere in your post. Go back and read it. koan's post:<< In just the last 6 years the pack ice melt has averaged about 2+ standard deviations below the mean 3 times. More than 2 standard deviations is only supposed to happen about once every 500 years. This happened 3 times in the last 6 years!! So what is the chance of a 1 in 500 event happening 3 times in the last 6 years!?? 2007: astounded and surprised all the climate scientists as it was soo dramatic. It was about 2.5 standard deviations below the mean.
