How many times have Warmists prognosticated that the Arctic would be ice free? We’ve seen “by the end of the century”, by 2008, by 2040, 2012, 2010-2015. And, remember, we have all the folks predicting that 2013 would be ice free. Not working out too well. Especially for the Sierra Club, which predicted the sea ice would be gone this year just a few months ago. And now we get
People have been warning about an ice-free Arctic oceanfor years. But Jiping Liu, an atmospheric scientist at the State University of New York in Albany in the US and colleagues have gone one better.
They predict that the Arctic Ocean will be effectively free of ice for the first time in the month of September between 2054 and 2058.
Once again, the prediction depends on climate models, and inevitably on the decisions governments take to control greenhouse gas emissions in the next decade. But the fact that a team of scientists can spread their bets over a span of four specific years is an indicator of how fast and how inexorable the Arctic melting has become.
In other words, a (supposedly) scary prediction predicated on Someone Else Doing Something to stop it.
And if they’re depending on “climate models” done on computers, well, they’re bound to fail.
whatever happened to the coldist’s prediction of The New Ice Age? wasn’t that due in 2012
You’re an idiot john. Only a few Russian scientists suggested that certain factors suggest such a thing. We realists joked about it. We don’t believe it. We would laugh should it occur as it would show you and your cult as perfect ASSES. HOwever, we realists know that climate changes all the time. up and down.
Weird. Weren’t we just told by a very persistent cult believer that “climate scientists” don’t think that temperatures will continue to rise? Now we are told it is “inexorable”? hmmmm
Wait.. I thought they said it wasn’t going to be from 87 to 2,187 years? Dang it.. cultists always changing the timelines and definitions.
