No Arctic ice as early as 2020: new research

http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/11755/1066/

Quote:
"From 1953 to 2006, Arctic sea ice extent at the end of the melt season in September has declined sharply. Though all models used in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report show declining Arctic ice cover over the observational record, none of the models individually shows trends comparable to observations during this time period," the report states.
Quote:
The inescapable conclusion is that Arctic sea ice may be gone far sooner than the IPCC models predict.
If this leads to anything as lame as a Kevin Costner movie, I'm shooting myself.

It won't, at least not that fast. Put the gun down.

If it does happen, it is because it is part of a natural cycle:

North Pole 'was once subtropical'
By Alex Kirby
BBC News Online environment correspondent

An international scientific team which has been drilling beneath the bed of the Arctic Ocean says it enjoyed a sub-tropical climate 55 million years ago.
The Arctic Coring Expedition (Acex) has recovered sediment cores from nearly 400m (1,300ft) below the sea floor.

It says fossilised algae in the cores show the sea temperature was once about 20C, instead of the average now, -1.5C.

none by 2020? i'm not educated on the matter at all, but that's a little hard to believe.

Ya, it seems a little quick. Under 13 years....?? Still, interesting that the models they used are off though.

I've heard other studies that say the arctic and antarctic ice is thicker than ever in some places.

Yeah I keep seeing many conflicting reports as well. I have a hard time knowing what to believe lately, interesting nevertheless though.

Total horse dung. The great global warming swindle told us how it is, and its correct.

For once, I'm glad I live in Kansas! Maybe I'll finally get that beach-front property I always wanted!
