Global Sea Ice Area Expands to Second Highest On Record, And Highest In 25 Years – Closing in on an all-time record

1933 ‘Consensus’: North Pole to melt, raise sea level 150 feet – ‘What Will Happen? ‘When The North Pole Melts, Oceans Will Rise 150 Feet’ – ‘Scientists’ Predictions’ – September 16, 1933 

New paper finds Arctic sea ice is controlled by natural cycles – Published in Geophysical Research Letters — Study ‘finds Arctic sea ice extent is determined primarily by the natural ~60-90 year cycle of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation [AMO], not greenhouse gases. According to the authors, “Arctic sea ice is intrinsically linked to Atlantic multidecadal [natural] variability” finding a ~60-90 year cycle of “Covariability between sea ice and Atlantic multidecadal variability as represented by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) index is evident during the instrumental record.”

1887 article: Arctic seas were open for sailing during the Medieval Warm Period in 1122 A.D.‘VARIATIONS IN CLIMATE.’ Press, Volume XLIV, Issue 6903, 8 November 1887, Page 6: ‘Calculations for the year 1122 A.D…find the Danes and several Scandinavian nations going through the Arctic open seas.’

Satellite data shows Arctic sea ice coverage up 50% from 2012: ‘There’ll likely be more multi-year ice next year than there was this year’ — ‘BBC News reports that data from Europe’s Cryosat spacecraft shows that Arctic sea ice coverage was nearly 9,000 cubic kilometers (2,100 cubic miles) by the end of this year’s melting season, up from about 6,000 cubic kilometers (1,400 cubic miles) during the same time last year.’

Gore’s ‘ice free Arctic prediction from five years ago, falsified by nature itself — Gore 2008: Claimed that the ‘Entire north polar ice cap will be gone in 5 years

2013: ‘On the 5 year anniversary of his prediction on December 14th, 2008, the Arctic sea ice is within a standard deviation of the “normal” line, and global sea ice is actually above normal’ – ‘With such a track record, one wonders why anyone but the “galactically stupid” would listen to Gore, the great bloviator, on climate any more.’

James Lovelock was right about Gore, this from Climate Depot: Alert: ‘Gaia’ scientist James Lovelock reverses himself: I was ‘alarmist’ about climate change & so was Gore! ‘The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we
