Sure. A correction three years in the making. Feel free to point out the "subsequent studies that support the finding in the initial paper." It would assist the ignorant and juvenile general populace in becoming more familiar with the research.

Meanwhile, back at NASA, they'll likely be getting a sense of what UAE CRU is going through. If this was climate science, it would be considered a trend....continued....
