The Arctic has had more warming
than any other part of our planet.
Scaremongers have been predicting
no more Arctic ice, or no more ice
after the summer melt, for many
decades.
That doesn't happen.
Not even close.
( see charts at end of article )
There is nothing wrong
with our climate.
Failed climate “predictions”
are just the tip of the iceberg
of what is wrong with
mainstream climate “science”
and self-appointed prognosticators.
It is very dishonest for climate scientists
to ignore their past failed predictions.
In real science, all it takes to disprove
any theory is ONE failed prediction.
Climate "science" has hundreds
of failed predictions.
These failed predictions are strong evidence
there are huge flaws in climate science.
Climate science can't be trusted
for public policy.
The UN's IPCC is an extremely corrupt
political body pretending to do science
ARCTIC REALITY:
The sea ice extent
has been flat
for 12 years.
has been flat
for 12 years.
In 2018, the minimum
Arctic ice extent,
after the summer melt
was 4.6 million
square kilometers.
The arctic was NOT
ice-free in 2017,
or 2018.
The record minimum
sea ice extent was in 2012.
The 2016 minimum was
23% above 2012.
The previous minimum
was 4.16 million km in 2007.
The 2018 minimum,
at 4.95 million km.,
was a 19% increase from 2007.
From another start date:
The 2018 minimum
declined 12% from 2009.
Not even icebreakers
can cross over
the North Pole
in recent years.
Meaning Arctic ice
has certainly NOT
disappeared !
Now let's consider some
of the scary predictions
from the scaremongers:
2001 prediction:
“Within a decade we can expect
regular summer trade there
{across the arctic ocean}.”
NASA press release, February 27, 2001.
2007 prediction:
“Scientists in the US have presented
one of the most dramatic forecasts yet
for the disappearance of Arctic sea ice.
Their latest modeling studies indicate
northern polar waters could be ice-free
in summers within just 5-6 years.
…Professor Wieslaw Maslowski
told an American Geophysical Union
meeting that previous projections
had underestimated the processes
now driving ice loss.
…’Our projection of 2013
for the removal of ice in summer
is not accounting for the last
two minima, in 2005 and 2007,’
the researcher from the
Naval Postgraduate School,
Monterey, California,
explained to the BBC.
‘So given that fact, you can argue
that may be our projection of 2013
is already too conservative.'”
BBC, December 12, 2007
2008 prediction:
2009 prediction:
“By 2013, we will see a much smaller
area in summertime than now;
and certainly by about 2020,
I can imagine that only one area
will remain in summer.
BBC, May 13, 2009
2009 prediction:
2012 prediction:
“The entire ice cover is now
on the point of collapse. …
The extra open water
already created by the
retreating ice allows
bigger waves to be generated
by storms, which are
sweeping away
the surviving ice.
It is truly the case
that it will be all gone
by 2015.
The consequences are enormous
and represent a huge boost
to global warming."
The Scotsman, August 29, 2012
2012 prediction:
“I have been predicting
[the collapse of sea ice
in summer months]
for many years.
The main cause is simply
global warming …
This collapse, I predicted
would occur in 2015-16
at which time the summer Arctic
( August to September )
would become ice-free.
The final collapse
towards that state
is now happening
and will probably be
complete by those dates.”
The Guardian, September 17, 2012
2016 prediction:
“Most people expect this year
will see a record low in the
Arctic’s summer sea-ice cover.
Next year or the year after that,
I think it will be free of ice
in summer and by that I mean
the central Arctic will be ice-free.
You will be able to cross over
the north pole by ship.
…Ice-free means the central basin
of the Arctic will be ice-free
and I think that that is
going to happen in summer
2017 or 2018.
The Guardian, August 21, 2016
2016 prediction:
“{T}he planet is swiftly heading
toward a largely ice-free Arctic
in the warmer months,
possibly as early as 2020.”
Yale Environment 360, September 26, 2016
