"But, they have scientific proof.!"

my grandsons have thick skulls.

Point blank, ask them

Why does one Earth polar circle, the Antarctic, have more than 9 times the ice of the other, the Arctic?

More proof that college is for young adults who are afraid to grow up. That makes them childishly look up to their professors as infallible father figures.

Science is not about parroting, "the science" apparently is....

I've got 2 grandsons with college degrees.

they won't even listen when I point out how often the 'scientists' have been wrong about climate change.

Maybe that underwater lesbian basket weaving degree that apparently is the latest rage taught them that "could be" and "will be" have two totally different meanings.

This is why I don't take the climate cabal seriously. Decades of failed doom and gloom predictions and they never admit their theories could simply be wrong. They flippantly dismiss their errors and move on to the next future catastrophe.

The Arctic Is Melting Faster Than Ever – and It Could Be Ice-Free by 2027

The Arctic may have its first ice-free summer day by 2027, intensifying global warming and extreme weather. The Arctic could experience its first summer with nearly all sea ice melted—a troubling milestone for the planet—as soon as 2027. For the first time, an international research team, includ

Indeed, climate predictions are inherently uncertain due to several factors:

1. Complexity of Climate Systems: The Earth’s climate is influenced by numerous interrelated systems, including atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial processes. This complexity makes it challenging to model interactions accurately.

2. Data Limitations: Climate models rely on historical data to make predictions. Incomplete or inconsistent data can lead to inaccuracies. For example, regional variations may not be well-documented, affecting localized predictions.

3. Emission Scenarios: Predictions often depend on future human activities, such as greenhouse gas emissions. Uncertainties in policy decisions, technological advancements, and societal behavior make exact forecasting difficult.

4. Natural Variability: Climate systems exhibit natural variability, including phenomena like El Niño and La Niña, which can cause short-term fluctuations that complicate long-term predictions.

5. Model Differences: Different climate models may adopt varying assumptions, methodologies, and parameterizations, leading to divergent outcomes. This range of predictions reflects the uncertainty inherent in climate science.

6. Feedback Mechanisms: Climate feedbacks, such as the ice-albedo effect or changes in cloud cover, can amplify or dampen warming. Understanding these feedback loops is still a developing area in climate science.

Despite these uncertainties, scientists strive to provide the best predictions possible, emphasizing trends and potential impacts rather than precise outcomes.


The 2027 claim is a plausible extreme-case projection from a peer‑reviewed study, not a guaranteed prediction — and past statements that sounded alarmist but were based on limited data have sometimes needed revision as observations improved.

Key points:

- The specific 2027 phrasing comes from a Nature Communications modeling study (Jahn & Heuzé et al., Dec 2024) that used >300 simulations to estimate when the Arctic might see its first single ice‑free day (defined as <1 million km² of September sea ice). Some model runs produced an ice‑free day as early as 2027; most gave a range of roughly 2032–2043 for the first ice‑free day, and earlier/later dates depend on internal variability and emissions.

- That study explicitly framed 2027 as an extreme but non‑zero possibility driven by a string of unusually warm seasons — not a near‑term inevitability. It did not claim the Arctic will definitely be ice‑free in 2027.

- Why such headlines appear: journalists often condense probabilistic, model‑based results into a single dramatic year; that simplifies communication but can overstate certainty.

- Why scientists’ past statements sometimes look wrong: climate science deals with long‑term trends plus large natural variability. Early studies used fewer observations and simpler models; projections have narrowed as data and models improved. Scientists update estimates as new evidence arrives — that’s normal scientific practice, not proof of a “cabal.”

- What matters: long‑term trend = clear decline in Arctic summer sea ice extent (~>10% loss per decade since 1979) and high confidence the Arctic will see substantially less summer ice as the planet warms. Whether the first single ice‑free day occurs in 2027, 2035, or later, the physical direction and risks are well supported.

Sure they’re wrong 100% of the time, but they mean well

 

[EMH]

What matters: long‑term trend

Which on planet Earth for the past 100 years is

1. NO WARMING in the ATMOSPHERE
2. NO WARMING in the OCEANS
3. NO INCREASE in CANE ACTIVITY
4. NO ONGOING NET ICE MELT
5. NO OCEAN RISE
6. NO RISE in SURFACE AIR PRESSURE


= planet not warming

they mean well

Trustfundee Treehuggers

They're just mean. Don't even mock the lie about "idealistic young people." That gives their play-acting some kind of credibility. They've always been vicious vipers, full of fear and contempt for commoners.

The uninhibited development of natural resources has always been the only cause of class mobility. To block that is what these spoiled-putrid snakes are hissing about.

 

[Mushroom]

A lot of people have become rich from those 'predictions'.

One even winning an Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize.

 

[Mushroom]

The idiots who make these predictions should have them tattooed on their arms (like the Florida/ATT tv ad).

Or have disclaimers appear below them during interviews.

 

[Mushroom]

Climate change is a farce.

Is not a farce, as it has always changed.

But the hysteria about it is a complete farce.

 

[Mushroom]

Indeed, climate predictions are inherently uncertain due to several factors

There is a challenge I have been making for years, and as far as I am aware it has never actually been attempted.

If the models are so accurate and are to be believed, then there should be an easy way to verify them. Take those models, and apply them to a period 20-50+ years in the past. Take the known conditions from decades ago, then run them through those models and see if they can predict the "future". And we can get a good idea how accurate they are, as they are in reality still predicting the past so we can judge if they were even close to being accurate, or just coprolite.

The same way I have challenged people over and over again to actually give me an actual prediction from 20+ years ago and compare it to what actually happened. Oh, many have attempted to do it, but always much more "modern" predictions that have been "adjusted" and they say matched what they predicted. But none actually able to show me some original documented statements from say 1998 or earlier that actually came true as predicted.

Not a single one.

That is the problem when something like this goes on so long. Once the present time passes the point of time of their prediction, people with actual thinking skills and not religious fervor should start to question why so many of the predictions are failing.



Completely ice free in the next 5-7 years. And this is no more true today than when he said this in 2009.



I mean come on, how many times will these predictions have to fail before some will wake up and smell the coffee?

Sounds a lot like how the Democratic Party operates. I've never heard a single democrat or climate alarmist admit to a single thing they said being in error.

The current models aren't capable of a ONE day hindcast.

Thus, they are absolutely worthless.

Climate Change is a science.

Global Warming is a theory that CO2 is the variable in control of Earth climate change. That theory is completely wrong and never had any evidence to support it, only fudge.

 

[DennisPTate]

Global Warming aka CO2 FRAUD is a farce.

The climate actually does change, but CO2 is not the cause, and Earth is not warming.

What do you think of the theory that to whatever degree there has been a trend for the Arctic Ice to melt more than it did thirty years agi, that this is either mostly part of a solar cycle, or perhaps a shift of the magnetic North Pole toward Siberia?

the "Banking Cartel"


"Solar Cycle" is exactly that. CO2 FRAUD put that out, and you and I paid for it, so that Fox "FAUX" News could tell their idiot viewers that "Solar Cycle" is "responsible for the warming" never mind THERE IS NO WARMING.


GREENLAND FROZE while NORTH AMERICA THAWED at THE SAME TIME

The SUN had NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT, and NEITHER DID ATMOSPHERE....

the only possible explanation is the correct explanation

TECTONIC DIRECTION

North America moved SOUTHWEST
Greenland moved NORTHWEST



actually the same "vector" on a sphere, where NA crossed its closest to the pole point about 20-30 million years ago and then started moving away from North Pole.
