The window has closed to prevent the melting of summer Arctic Sea ice due to human-caused climate change, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.
The research indicates that even under a scenario where carbon emissions are sharply curtailed, the Arctic will be “practically” ice-free in September by the middle of the 21st century. The study’s projection goes even further than the warning issued in 2021 by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which determined there is still a chance to save the summer ice in a scenario where warming is kept below 2 degrees Celsius.
The research is also more pessimistic about the speed of ice loss, predicting the loss of summer ice by the 2030s, as opposed to the IPCC projection of the 2040s under a high- or intermediate-emissions scenario.

Notice how the predictions are always far enough out that they cannot be readily refuted and so their prophecy of doom will hopefully be forgotten when it does not come to pass.
That’s the problem...no matter what we do and no matter what happens, there is absolutely no way anyone can prove than any little thing we did...changed the climate....not even by a single molecule. We’re getting scammed big time. Object...communism.
There is an entire chain of volcanoes underneath warming the sea floor. Science fact.
I have to admit that they sure are messing things up by burning up all the forests.
Core samples of the Arctic sea bed show abundant remains of tropical sea life. I think the arctic has BTDT. This is nothing new...and no one can say otherwise, given we have no reliable records before the advent of satellites.

Arctic sea ice has virtually no effect on ocean level. The old ice cubes floating in a glass of water. The ice displaces a volume of water exactly equal to the volume that the melted ice would occupy. I believe that Gore has a houseboat in Tennessee, far from the ocean, and unaffected by ocean levels.
Great. We can keep our coal plants running, stop the wind and solar insanity, end the crazy attempt to force all of us into EVs, and keep our gas stoves. Best news all day.
The increase in Antarctic sea ice extent stands in stark contrast to conditions in the Arctic, where sea ice extent has declined significantly—by about 2 million square kilometers, or about 20%, over the past 40 years.
I guess Prof. Wadhams was only off by a few decades...

Like any natural system (and most ANY system I suppose), the system likes balance. Less ice at the north pole gets evened out by more ice at the south pole.
I lost track. Were we supposed to save this stuff? I’ve got some room in the fridge next to the tater tots...
How many people live in the Arctic Ocean? Of those zero people how many will care if there is ice or not? How many people want to drive cars, heat their homes, have food to eat maybe a steak, and have money in their pockets and bank accounts and retirement funds?
Science question:
Q. If ALL of the Arctic sea ice melts, how much will sea levels rise?
A. None. Not one iota.

Contrast this with the story of the brand-new Russian ice breaker stuck in Artic ice.
