The European Space Agency revealed that the earth is now 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than before, and recent assessments have deduced that this change risks crossing delicate climate tipping points. Even minor fluctuations in the planet’s temperature are felt at Earth's extreme poles—the North and South poles. While the drastic implications of global warming in Greenland and the Arctic are not new information, a new study predicted that the latter will be ice-free in three years’ time.
By summer 2027, the Arctic Ocean will witness its first ice-free day at the current pace of greenhouse gas emissions. According to the study published in the journal Nature Communications in December 2024, this “ominous milestone for the planet” will inevitably occur between a period of nine to 20 years after 2023 even if humans decide to modulate greenhouse gas emissions to ideal concentrations. Co-author Alexandra Jahn said, "The first ice-free day in the Arctic won't change things dramatically.” She is a climatologist at the University of Colorado Boulder and an associate professor at the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the institution.
Considering the worst-case scenario, the snow-clad Arctic Ocean will go ice-free within three years. Jahn indicated that while the ice-free Arctic may not be the end of the world, it is evidence that “we've fundamentally altered one of the defining characteristics of the natural environment in the Arctic Ocean, which is that it is covered by sea ice and snow year-round, through greenhouse gas emissions,” per Science Daily.

Since their “predictions “ have failed ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE TIME, I don’t see a problem.
Snow last week from Galveston to Florida. Yea, glo bull warming…
At least it is not the usual 10 years.
Not a chance it will happen, so it will become 2029,2031,2033…..
That headline writes a check that the body of the article fails to cash

Changing the weather intentionally or otherwise weather modification..(Earth cooling vs Greenhouse effect)
“Do you suppose we can learn enough, soon enough, to pull off a balancing act with the CO2 blanket saving us from another ice age?”
Ah the light entertainment of arrogant people predicting things that never happen when they say they will happen!
...the earth is now 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than before.
><><
When was before 10 years or 400 years or 1000 years?
We are always going to be 6+ years away from utter climate disaster.
Where have I heard predictions like this before? Oh, yeah, the same “experts” who were wrong before.
And if nothing happens, they will start calling it “Climate Stagnation”, and that man is interfering with Climate Change.
><
That’s good.
Or Climate Interference.
“We have successfully stopped the next ICE AGE we were heading towards.”
I think that is the true situation also...
We are always going to be 6+ years away from utter climate disaster.

So there's their loophole and "out."
When it doesn't happen, they'll excuse themselves and simply say the rate of change wasn't constant, then just tack on some extra time to meet their prediction.
They're unaccountable "scientists," simply keeping their oars in the water to collect their next gubmint grants via a plethora of universities.
Arctic temperatures today are very close, if slightly less than they were in the early and middle 1930s.
Polar bears thrived at that time. They are thriving today.
Care to put some money down on that? I didn't think so.
According to Al Gore it was 2013.
