Just Have a Think 
When will we lose all the sea ice from the Arctic Ocean? It’s a question our climate scientists and oceanographers have been working on for many years. Nobody can say for sure, but a brand new research paper suggests the very first day when we could see an ice-free Arctic Ocean might be less than FIVE years away. And the world is definitely NOT ready for that!!!!

About The Author
Well, no. That happened in 2010. Where have you been?
The Arctic Ocean doesn't need ice, BTW. What would happen if it was ice-free? Cheaper trade?
(…and we have seen NOTHING of the sort in 50 years of it supposedly happening.)
This religion has become boring because, like Christianity, I can never see any of it at all. I am too much of an atheist to have faith in politicians and the media. Especially considering it would be ridiculous to believe them when we know they lie about everything.
I have learned to believe my own eyes and brain, thanks.
"Scientists say…"
"Experts agree…"
Who are these people?
My PhD is in geophysics.
Boy, good thing all that methane in the Artic isn't coming up. Everyone send positive vibes.
The extent of Antarctic sea ice varies greatly from year to year, but 40 years of satellite records show a long-term trend. Although some Antarctic regions have experienced reductions in sea ice extent, the overall trend since 1979 shows increased ice
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
there is great doubt that China has the population you just said. There might be only 400 million…
ello, mate
Have you ever thought about how the birthrate has more than halved since the baby boomers or taken that into account? What about how doubling CO2 levels from pre-industrial levels can increase tree growth by around 23%?
For millions of years, the planets weather has had mega changes. According to studys, the poles have been ice-free before, even had lots of plant life and tree's. And all this has happened previously causing warming and freezing long before humans, its what weather does
But… I agree we are definitely causing problems, overfishing, deforestation, and dumping our crap everywhere, so that has got to change.
I don't believe we .. are responsible for weather changes on a global scale, weather has and will always do what weather does.. be unpredictable. Whether humans are here or not.
No one global warming hoax predictions have come to pass.. and I don’t think this one has got any credibility either.. but keep peddling the agenda.. it’s good for YouTube algorithm..
inconvenient truth 32 predictions proven false on YouTube
The sky is falling the sky is falling lol!!!
This time bros, this time there will be no ice. We promise.
Tipping points are not scary enough to get published anymore. We need TIPPING CASCADES 👌
Several events that may or may not happen, with outcomes that may or may not occur. What if we chained all these unknown probability events together into a chain? 🤔
After studying the pathetic performance of the British explorers in the Arctic from the past two centuries, I am very skeptical when the British, want to give their view of the Arctic. Yu only need to look at old drawings of British Officers standing on the Arctic ice wearing dress uniforms, complete with knee high leather boots, while standing among fur dressed natives. The british rejected native food in favour of lead sealed cans of rotted meat. As is the US Gov. they were so convinced of their superiority they destroyed themselves, with the notion they are superior. Bye, Bye.
AL GORE SPREAD THAT BS 14 YEARS AGO !!! THE ARCTIC WOULD BE ICE FREE BY 2012 !!! LIE AFTER LIE !!!!!
2030 wishful thinking,,every day now it should of been yesterday.
Natilia got threatend with prison if she didnt change what she said, WADAMS is on the pay roll.
Too much gas in the atmosphere will prevent our lungs from the capacity to saturate our blood stream with oxygen,,,we gasp for air….
But before that we starve to death the heat will distroy the crops..
all this was known by a few in 1500 AD….Before fosil fuel….just with tree distruction ,,
we had untill 3000 AD they called it half time after time…we had past the point of no return then.
some one tryed to give us more time in the 30s maybe a thousand years,,,but others said it was too late to go back and the rest is made up HI STORY…..IN THE 30S We had a one percent chance of getting past the year 2000,,,,NASA Did the maths again in 1971 and come up with the same time 2000…..it was before the oil shocks started,,,thats give us an extra 25 years….
Why not moor a network of stable buoys that have horizontal white surfaces to reflect incident light back to the space? Even a small amount moored today would bring benefits 30 years down the road, right?
Not likely, especially since the ice caps are gaining mass now
I'd like to use the optimistic approach many global warming deniers seem to do and point out a hot house earth would solve the issue of humans. Every reflective cloud has a silver lining and all that.
Build a 15' high perimeter sunshade around the arctic. In Simpsons world this would be easily done
How about " having a think" and look up the term Grand Solar Minimum or Maunder Minimum, and you will realise we are heading into a mini ice age from 2028 to 2045, expect shorter summers, colder winters in the Northern Hemisphere, the Thames freezing over… this is produced by a major reduction in sun spot activity..

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You must all be afraid, very afraid, very very very afraid. Keep watching and your brains will melt
I wonder if insane notions like mining the arctic could lead to a social tipping point: a post-tipping point world in which pursuit of profit becomes a capital crime. I’m not suggesting it would be good. Let’s not ignore the history of, say, Pol Pot. When people face an existential threat caused by elites, things can get ugly.
Funny how the Antarctic ice shift is added ice last year. Imagine that that's a fact
IT sounds plausible but it never happens!
The Arctic ice is already essentially slush at this point. & as the ultimate terminator specie we have accomplished our task in record time. Bravo, well done!
Latent heat is the nail in the coffin, coming soon to everyone near you!
We are already at the point of no return. When the ice is gone so are we!
There has never been an irreversible climate trend.
The prognosticators until now have been wrong. You all can wait for five years to learn about whether the authors of the publication are correct.
