Default Remember polar bears and arctic sea ice?

Last week the National Snow and Ice data Center (NSIDC) released daily information that showed a dramatic drop in arctic sea ice coverage. Sharp eyed bloggers called them on it and they've been forced to admit that data has been faulty for the last 45 days or more:

NSIDC: satellite sea ice sensor has “catastrophic failure” - data faulty for the last 45 or more days Watts Up With That?

Do you believe the NSIDC and your elected officials would have disclosed the faulty satellite data on their own? Would that disclosure have been before or after the the upcoming climate change legislation?

As an aside, they always show helpless, drowning polar bears in this discussion. Ursus maritimus is not helpless:
