The Arctic could be ice free in 5-6 years time. `

:) I was just looking at an old post and accidentally came across it. Given we are aproaching the date of the supposed calamity, I thought it interesting to reflect back on the statement, and the facts today. Of course we wil see more and more of these alarmists statements exposed for what they are as time passes. :)
"If climate has not "tipped" in over 4 billion years it's not going to tip now due to mankind." Richard S. Lindzen, Atmospheric Physicist, IPCC "It does not matter who you are, or how smart you are, or what title you have, or how many of you here are, and certainly not how many papers your side has published, if your prediction is wrong then your hypothesis is wrong. Period." Professor Richard Feynman
As time marches forward, we learn and understand that much more than we previously did. And that can challenge accepted scientific theories, or place doubts on developing theories. Timescales in a chaotic system may never be as precise as we would like. And, we all are capable of producing alarmist statements that can mount to nothing more than hot air. :)

Indeed.

He also said: "Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything. 14% of people know that." :)

I know a fact: I will get drunk before the last bit of ice melts.

Back in 2007, Richard Abbot posted htis typical scare story. Scientists in the US have presented one of the most dramatic forecasts yet for the disappearance of Arctic sea ice. Their latest modelling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years. [^] So, now its 4 years later and...

Yeah, its swinging around a fair bit. What I find interesting is that these swings, both up and down, in the last fe years, are equal to to the supposed rise in 100 years, 0.7 `C. So if CO2 is such a big player, just what the hell is it that can do the same thing 100 times quicker! It must be a REALLY big player, whcih kind of puts CO2 way in the back.
