are you saying ice never melted before?They don't know why? I'm no computer expert but I know one thing, faulty information leads to faulty conclusions.
If you include the massive heat energy consumed by ice melting phase change, then the temperatures we are recording are exactly as predicted.
NEVER to this degree.
There was no North Pole navigation route for the last 10,000 years at least, until 2007.
{...On August 21, 2007, the Northwest Passage became open to ships without the need of an icebreaker. According to Nalan Koc of the Norwegian Polar Institute, this was the first time the Passage has been clear ...}
And this is true of glacial ice and mountain snow caps.
And what is so bad about the vast unprecedented ice regression is that ice used to reflect solar heat, so now heating should accelerate even more.
Ha ha, you still haven't back up your ignorant claim, which is unsurprising since there have been a number of science papers showing it had little to ZERO summer ice for a few THOUSAND years in the early Holocene time frame, the very opposite of your ignorant claim.
Here is a recent paper that make that clear:
Holocene variability in sea ice cover, primary production, and Pacific‐Water inflow and climate change in the Chukchi and East Siberian Seas (Arctic Ocean)
ABSTRACT
In this study, we present new detailed biomarker‐based sea ice records from two sediment cores recovered in the Chukchi Sea and the East Siberian Sea. These new biomarker data may provide new insights on processes controlling recent and past sea ice changes. The biomarker proxy records show (i) minimum sea ice extent during the Early Holocene, (ii) a prominent Mid‐Holocene short‐term high‐amplitude variability in sea ice, primary production and Pacific‐Water inflow, and (iii) significantly increased sea ice extent during the last ca. 4.5k cal a BP. This Late Holocene trend in sea ice change in the Chukchi and East Siberian Seas seems to be contemporaneous with similar changes in sea ice extent recorded from other Arctic marginal seas. The main factors controlling the millennial variability in sea ice (and surface‐water productivity) are probably changes in surface water and heat flow from the Pacific into the Arctic Ocean as well as the long‐term decrease in summer insolation. The short‐term centennial variability observed in the high‐resolution Middle Holocene record is probably related to solar forcing. Our new data on Holocene sea ice variability may contribute to synoptic reconstructions of regional to global Holocene climate change based on terrestrial and marine archives.
