Climate Scientists Predict Exact Day When the Arctic Will Go Ice-Free and It’s Sooner Than We Think
Green Matters ^ | Jan 31, 2025 | Green Matters Staff

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.

I will post graphics later, but, when you plot the actual 12 NSIDC Monthly Average Sea Ice Extents for each month since records began in Nov 1978 (now 47 years of data), average sea ice extents have remained steady from their low in winter 2007-2008 through 2025.

Yes, average sea ice extents declined from 1979 through 2006-2007. But have remained steady for now 16 years of the entire 47 year of accurate measurements.

Zero. NO SEA ICE DECLINE SINCE 2008.

The lowest point of Arctic Sea Ice Extents every year is mid-Sept. The maximum Arctic sea ice extents occurs each year in mid-March.

Mid-summer, the sea ice extents are between maximum and minimum. But. To reporters regurgitating hysterical climate warming claims and misleading predictions that are always wrong, “summer” occurs June 22. Just as sea ice has begun to melt.

“By summer 2027, the Arctic Ocean will witness its first ice-free day”

So if this prediction fails, will they admit that their theory has been falsified, apologize, and leave us alone? I didn’t think so.

“They” are using the convenient fiction that “All climate change” warming and cooling that happened before 1800 (that is, from 1600 through 1800 as the earth recovered from the depths of the Little Ice Age) is “natural”.

“All climate change after 1800 is disastrous and is entirely man-made.” Even though CO2 was constant from 100,000 BC through 1975.

Since 1975, the earth has warmed about 1/2 of one degree.

Is there a way to bet against this prediction online?

“Climate scientist.” That is just above “Gender equity supervisor” on the scale of “Reputable jobs.”

I remember the days when the “climate scientists” were talking about the impending new “Ice Age” with the northern oceans blocked with ice and bad crops due to the cold.

BTW - it has been several years now, but IIRC some “climate scientists” were on a ship in the Arctic studying the latest warming data.

The ice moved in and they had to wait to be rescued by an ice breaker.

That would be the litmus test….how many of these scientists are buying up land in these new ice free areas?

These “experts” have been punting that farther and farther down the road as their failed prophecies keep failing over and over... because they are simply frauds.

Oh well. These fluctuations in temperatures have been going on for millions and millions of years.

Yes but we are at the later end of that cycle. Cold is coming. When no one knows but it’s coming.

The programming code for that was, in fact, shown to be a *vector* applied to the data.
