“Arctic sea ice is headed toward a historic low  09-30-2024

This is the conclusion of researchers at NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).”

Arctic sea ice is headed toward a historic low – Earth.com

There has been no trend in Arctic sea ice extent for over seventeen years.

NASA’s leading experts predicted the Arctic would be ice-free sometime between 2012 and 2018.

“NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said: “At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions.”

Could all Arctic ice be gone by 2012?

    You left out this bit Tony.

    “Measurements collected with spaceborne altimeters, including NASA’s ICESat and ICESat-2 satellites, have found that much of the oldest, thickest ice has already been lost.

    New research from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California shows that in the central Arctic, away from the coasts, fall sea ice now averages around 4.2 feet thick, down from a peak of 8.8 feet in 1980.”

    • Cherry picking time is July, buddy. Picking 1980, heart of the mini-ice age, as a starting point, isn’t going to trick very many people around here.

        “1980, heart of the mini-ice age,”

        There was no mini-ice age in 1980.

        The most recent period with significant glaciation was
        1300 – 1850
        The first River Thames frost fair was in 1608 and the last in 1814.
        Thankfully we have had a modest warming since, long may it continue.

          Review your history. The mid 70s thru the early 80s, the mantra was that the earth was headed into a new ice age. That was as meaningful as the current global warming hoax. Neither true, but both offering proponents opportunity to control people’s lives.

        • I said the guy was a liar for cherry-picking 1980 as a starting point for arctic ice. Obviously it was. All the left does is lie. Nothing but lies. Try picking 1936 as a starting point. Cherry picking the starting point is their favorite trick, they are disgusting.

          true.
