Tell Al Gore: Records Show Arctic Ice Stable Since 2007

Al Gore said all Arctic Ice would be gone by 2014.

Dramatic confirmation that the sea ice in the Arctic has been stable for nearly two decades is contained in a recently published science paper from a team led by Dr Mark England from the University of Exeter. The finding is of course obvious to anyone who studies the data but it will inconvenience the activist cranks who continue to promote supposed reductions in Arctic sea ice as an important sign of their imaginary ‘tipping points’ and their fake climate crisis. Despite the data showing the ice has been stable over every month in the year since around 2007, Sir David Attenborough told BBC viewers in 2022 that the region could be summer ice-free by 2035. The climate hysteric Al Gore never quite recovered his authority when he said all the ice could be gone by 2014.

There is still an occasional sighting in mainstream media but the ice vanishing act is having to be retired. In fact the smarter scientists seem to be rushing to accept the ice data while moving the climate trenches back to more defendable lines. The England paper notes a “surprising, but not unexpected pause” simulated by climate models, “relatively frequently”. Old school to the end, the Guardian reported last March that “scientists say” that ice-free summers were possible in the Arctic within the next decade.

…

Last year, the Daily Sceptic noted that Arctic sea ice had soared to its highest level for 21 years. The article noted this interesting and correct fact but made our usual point that ice trends can only be understood over a long, preferably very long term context. The BBC More or Less statistical radio programme referred to the article without putting the high in context. Rather it provided a case study in how alarmists counter the obvious lengthy pause. Professor Julienne Stroeve from UCL suggested the ice extent was thinner, although the presenter Tom Colls had to admit, “the data is not available yet”. What you see, claimed Stroeve, is that the trend is downwards for four decades. The overall decline in long-term Arctic ice is very easy to see, added Colls. A more statistically objective view, something the programme constantly tells listeners it aims to provide, might have noted the lower levels of the 1950s and the recent obvious lengthy pause.

In other words, they said sea ice was declining and we were doomed—DOOMED, I SAY!—if we didn’t bend over and take the climate agenda up the kiester.

But sea ice is stable. It has been for 20 years, which we haven’t heard in the media at all.

Then again, the media likes to play up the climate crap because it scares people.

They’re terrified of the scenarios they’ve pushed for years, such as famine, drought, terrible storms killing people in job lots, and so on. They’ve seen every skeptic discredited, so clearly the experts must be right!

Only, they’re not. They’re lying.

Every climate model they’ve produced has failed to pan out. Every single one. I haven’t found a single example, and I’ve looked.

And yet, every new model gets breathlessly reported on like it’s the voice of God speaking to Moses or something. It’s the most important thing ever, and climate change will doom us all, and yet they can’t get any of their predictions right.

Sea ice is relatively stable. The climate models are wrong time and time again.

Yet no one in the entire field seems interested in stopping and asking, “Hey, maybe we don’t understand climate as well as we thought and should probably stop making doom-and-gloom predictions until we can predict climate with some degree of accuracy.”

But nope.

Then again, anyone who did would see their career destroyed, their lives ruined, and no one would listen to them on anything.
