1..This mainly to save others time (and wondering why eenews and
similar usually find it hard to give the original cite).. The article is

2. This is the first paragraph in the final section:

3. So I conclude the results likely to be pretty accurate (besides the
UCAR team has lots of experience).
And this phenomenon makes our CDR job harder, not easier.
