Wasn’t that like 8 years ago?
>> Anybody got a betting pool open for this? I’d like to make a substantial wager.
At their current rate of collapse, any wager on when America will be completely free of progressive ‘rats?
What happened to the Great Freeze from the 70s?
“I hate to break this to these folks, but we are in an interglacial warming period.... The temperatures are going to warm, and ice is going to melt, no matter what we do.”
True, but we are way late for it to get cold, real cold in this very regular cycle. We are late going into the next ice age. So I believe we are about to get cold not hot.
I know here in the same place I have lived all my life the last five years in a row have been cooler on average than they have ever been. Much cooler... It is staring... They are hiding this fact.
But this time the future prediction is near enough that it will be remembered, and proving them wrong.
Arctic specialist Bernt Balchen says a general warming trend over the North Pole is melting the polar ice cap and may produce an ice-free Arctic Ocean by the year 2000. - Los Angles Times - May 16, 1972
“According to these models, there will be no sea ice left in the summer in the Arctic Ocean somewhere between 2010 and 2015”. “And it’s probably going to happen even faster than that,” Professor Louis Fortier - Université Laval, Director ArcticNet - November 16, 2007
NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said: “At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions. - National Geographic Dec. 12, 2007
Scientists in the US have presented one of the most dramatic forecasts yet for the disappearance of Arctic sea ice. Their latest modelling 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.” Professor Maslowski’s group, which includes co-workers at Nasa and the Institute of Oceanology, Polish Academy of Sciences (PAS), is well known for producing models that are in advance of other teams. - BBC Dec. 12, 2007
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
New computer modeling suggests the Arctic Ocean may be nearly ice-free in the summertime as early as 2014, Al Gore said Monday at the U.N. climate conference. Dec 14. 2009
“There is a possibility of an ice-free Arctic Ocean for a short period in summer perhaps as early as 2015. This would mean the disappearance of multi-year ice, as no sea ice would survive the summer melt season….Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment Report – 2009
“It could even be this year or next year but not later than 2015 there won’t be any ice in the Arctic in the summer,” he said, pulling out a battered laptop to show a diagram explaining his calculations, which he calls “the Arctic death spiral”. - David Vaughan Glaciologist & IPCC scientist - Financial Times Magazine Aug 8, 2012
Granted, when making projections, it’s good to have sophisticated models. I don’t claim to have used those, but I’ve got a good eye and by the looks of it, sea ice will be gone in September 2014. -Sam Carana Arctic News Sep 21, 2012
For the record—I do not think that any sea ice will survive this summer. An event unprecedented in human history is today, this very moment, transpiring in the Arctic Ocean….” - Paul Beckwith Sierra Club – March 23, 2013
But this time they surely are right!!
Here is a great video of what keeps happening in North America. The Laurentide Ice Sheet grows and retreats, over and over. To the people* that will listen, I describe it as The Great Cold returning. The cold will return, and all we can do is adapt.

Re: **people
In my last job, there were quite a few liberal skulls full of mush. Without using any kind of politics, I would just repeat the facts. Because they trusted me on so many other things, I slowly began to change some minds, and replace the skull mush with reality. I would describe the current repeating pattern of approximately 100,000 years of cold, with 10-15,000 years of warming in between, back and forth.
Free money for whomever can find one of these scientists who ia willing to make a wager l.
By the way, I wonder how that experiment that Al Gore was conducting worked out. The one where he’s plugging up cows with corks. Something about blocking methane gas.
Yup, and many in The Stupid Party have yet to figure this out.
We need to remember this date & the people who predicted it. Should settle some arguments about who knows what & when.
We’ve been hearing this crap for over 35 years.
Two problems: One, headline says “exact date” but there is no exact date mentioned in the article. Second, the first sentence says warmer than “before”—before what? What a stupid article, a stupid headline, and stupid scientists. Just glad that for once is wasn’t our tax dollars paying for this study (I hope!).
Finally a target date in this mellennium.
We have successfully stopped the next ICE AGE we were heading towards
More BS from the global warming cultists...
