Experts said Arctic sea ice would melt entirely by September 2016 - they were wrong

Sarah Knapton, science editor

"Dire predictions that the Arctic would be devoid of sea ice by September this year have proven to be unfounded after latest satellite images showed there is far more now than in 2012."

"Experts" aka a few people.

"scientists have accused Prof Wadhams and others of "crying wolf" and harming the message of climate change through "dramatic", "incorrect" and "confusing" predictions.

Dr Ed Hawkins, associate professor in the Department of Meterology, at the University of Reading, said: “There has been ONE PROMINENT SCIENTIST who has regularly made more dramatic, and incorrect, in my view predictions suggesting that we would by now be in ice-free conditions.

“There are very serious risks from continued climatic changes and a melting Arctic, but we do not serve the public and policy-makers well by exaggerating those risks. "

Let's look at the Antarctic where land ice mass and sea ice are both increasing.

Peter Wadhams- "He is the president of the International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans Commission on Sea Ice"====wiki

Trying to pass him off as someone not taken seriously by the global warming scamming community is par for the course among global warming hoaxers.

Maybe.

But the larger picture is that ice on earth is melting. Rapidly. No question. The reason is that temps are going up. Or are you going to argue that they are not.

More costs of man made global warming....

Forest fires are burning longer and stronger across the western United States, lighting up the landscape with alarming frequency. Residents are forced to flee, homes are incinerated, wildlife habitats are destroyed, lives are lost. Last year, the Forest Service spent more than half its annual budget fighting fires.

Scientists have long theorized that climate change has contributed to the longer fire seasons, the growing number and destructiveness of fires and the increasing area of land consumed, though some experts suggest that the current fire phenomenon is not just a result of a changing climate, but also fire-suppressing policies practiced by the government for the last century or more.

In a new study published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from the University of Idaho and Columbia University have calculated how much of the increased scope and intensity of Western wildfires can be attributed to human-caused climate change and its effects. They state that, since 1979, climate change is responsible for more than half of the dryness of Western forests and the increased length of the fire season. Since 1984, those factors have enlarged the cumulative forest fire area by 16,000 square miles, about the size of Massachusetts and Connecticut combined, they found.

And then when there turns out not to be a disaster from forest fires, we'll hear the same old song and dance about how the global warming communi-tay wishes these one off scientists wouldn't go overboard on their predictions because it detracts from the very serious real message of blah, blah.

Does global warming cause more rain or less rain. Which one is it?

Perhaps one day the idiots will stop using goal seek in their models.

https://www.nwf.org/wildlife/threat...arming-is-causing-extreme-weather/floods.aspx

"Because warmer air can hold more moisture, heavier precipitation is expected in the years to come."

I know. I know. Global warming isn't really global. It is geographic specific. I know. I know. Global warming causes more and less rain.
