Although Arctic sea ice appears fated to melt away as the climate continues to warm, the ice may temporarily stabilize or somewhat expand at times over the next few decades, new research indicates.
The computer modeling study, by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, reinforces previous findings by other research teams that the level of Arctic sea ice loss observed in recent decades cannot be explained by natural causes alone, and that the ice will eventually disappear during summer if climate change continues.
But in an unexpected new result, the NCAR research team found that Arctic ice under current climate conditions is as likely to expand as it is to contract for periods of up to about a decade.

Thanks TheOldLady.
Try ten thousand feet. That is how large scientists say the ice sheets got. That's pretty large. If the warmists say we're warming the planet and melting the north pole, just tell them we're trying to prevent another glacial age. Who wants to look out their backyard and see a two mile high sheet of ice where the golf course used to be.
“’several hundred feet’
Try ten thousand feet.”
You misunderstood; I was talking about last winter.

"and in the five day forecast we predict at least a 90% chance there will be weather."
Wow more guessing. They don’t know.
