I'm not sure that they've successfully eliminated some of the more likely explanations, including:

1) The cold region is populated by giant space-turtles that absorb vast quantities of heat.
2) Somebody left the air-con on while the windows were open.
3) Some places are warmer than others. Djibouti, for example, tends to be a lot warmer than Finland.
4) We may not always be 100% correct when we measure temperatures in places that are billions of miles away.
5) Somebody wanted a cheap headline in the hope of getting a commission from the History Channel because academia's not really working out too well for him.

These, and several million more explanations, all seem somewhat more likely than the one offered and I'm leaning towards #5.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.
