Greenpeace Leader Admits Arctic Ice Exaggeration

Gerd Leipold, the outgoing leader of Greenpeace, admitted that his organization's recent claim that the Arctic Ice will disappear by 2030 was "a mistake." Greenpeace said in a July 15 press release that there will be an ice-free Arctic by 2030 because of global warming. BBC reporter Stephen Sackur on the "Hardtalk" program pressed Leipold until he admitted the claim was wrong.

“No way! Now what the hell am I going to do with my anti-iceberg kit?”

Just return it to the store like I did with mine.

Actually - the water level wouldn’t change 1mm. Ice displaces the volume it consists of. Now if the Iceland and Greenland Ice sheets melt completely - that would be something impressive - and add a few inches to sea level.
