Dire predictions that the Arctic would be devoid of sea ice by September this year have proven to be unfounded after latest satellite images showed there is far more now than in 2012.
Scientists such as Prof Peter Wadhams, of Cambridge University, and Prof Wieslaw Maslowski, of the Naval Postgraduate School in Moderey, California, have regularly forecast the loss of ice by 2016, which has been widely reported by the BBC and other media outlets.
Prof Wadhams, a leading expert on Arctic sea ice loss, has recently published a book entitled A Farewell To Ice in which he repeats the assertion that the polar region would free of ice in the middle of this decade.
As late as this summer, he was still predicting an ice-free September.
Yet, when figures were released for the yearly minimum on September 10, they showed that there was still 1.6 million square miles of sea ice (4.14 square kilometres), which was 21 per cent more than the lowest point in 2012.
For the month of September overall, there was 31 per cent more ice than in 2012, figures released this week from the National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) show. This amounts to an extra 421,000 (1.09 million square kilometres) of sea ice, making the month only the fifth lowest since records began.

Arctic warming has become so dramatic that the North Pole may melt this summer (2008), report scientists studying the effects of climate change in the field. “We’re actually projecting this year that the North Pole may be free of ice for the first time [in history],” David Barber, of the University of Manitoba, told National Geographic News aboard the C.C.G.S. Amundsen, a Canadian research icebreaker. - National Geographic News June 20, 2008
Algore is greatly saddened.
Worse still, winter is right around the corner.
Well if it isn’t all melting, why is the Grand Canyon filling up with water? Huh? Answer that........oh, never mind.
Obviously he is not as expert as he thinks he is. Normally, in the real world, when you are hired as an expert, and you are proven to be so dramatically wrong, you are fired and have a very tough time ever finding work in that field again. Let's see if Cambridge is real world, or just another liberal fantasy land.
These “professors” are just another segment of the Communist Left whose real interest is using their “positions in academia” to influence politics. They probably don’t have the desterity or mental accuity necessary to use the coin reject lever to retrieve a bent dime in a Coke machine.
Experts said Arctic sea ice would melt entirely by September 2016 - they were wrong ...and these Ex-Purt were WRONG!!
The experts must be on Suicide Watch by now
Anyone remember back in the ‘70s when humans were going to cause the next ice age within 20 years?
I predicted it would not melt, can that give me the title of expert?
OMG . The Acid Rain
If you measure the success of the prediction about Arctic sea ice in terms of unaccountable, unconstitutional government funding received by global warming alarmists concerning this issue, then failed prediction was probably a successful ploy.
Hey, wait a minute!!! Didn’t Woody Harrelson say that the ice caps will melt within 10 years? (back in 1987)
Nope. The checks continue to clear and life is good.
The entire AGW thing was never anything other than a PC tool.
The purpose of PCism is to identify and either remove or suppress any and all who have the ability to distinguish between truth and lies. The end result of a matured PC campaign is a clustergaggle of idiots that are laughably easy to manipulate.
PCism is not a joke. PCism is not something that can be ignored.
PCism is malicious and murderous intent hidden behind constantly mutating verbal pablum.
#BLM is also PCism in action.
dishonesty + evasion + exaggeration of trivia + wrong predictions + malice + demagoguery = creation of a phony crises situation + hysteria = scare tactics = panic = calls for destruction of economic progress = decay and decline into poverty of a hellhole
