In the late 2000s, experts and climate bedwetters, like Al Gore, warned that the late summer Arctic sea ice would already disappear by 2015. [emphasis, links added]
That prediction has yet to even come anywhere near close to happening.
According to the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder, the Arctic sea ice melt this year has long reached its low point, falling to 4.602 million square kilometers on September 10th:
Compared to the record low of 3.387 million square kilometers that occurred in 2012 (13 years ago), this year’s value is more than 1.2 million square kilometers greater, and nearly half a million square kilometers more than 2007 (4.155 million square kilometers).
Overall, the late Arctic summer sea ice trend has been flat for nearly two decades, defying the global warming trend prediction that it would melt to almost nothing by now.
The alarmists have been completely wrong.

What prediction have the alarmists gotten right? Whether it’s sea ice, hurricanes, floods/droughts, coral, etc. none of them have come true. But the media just keep regurgitating whatever new “study” says is going to happen with nary a push-back on the claims.
