    Do you think ALL these people have some ulterior motive in their concerns about our planet?
    Do you think that people who have invested a lifetime, and have lucrative careers on the back of climate alarmism, are going to admit they are wrong?

    “Arctic sea ice extent for July 2018 averaged 8.22 million square kilometers (3.20 million square miles). This was 1.25 million square kilometers (483,000 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 long-term average sea ice extent, and 550,000 square kilometers (212,000 square miles) above the record low for the month set in July 2012. July 2018 was the ninth lowest July extent in the satellite record.

    Despite finishing ninth lowest in the monthly average, ice loss was rapid during the month. As a result, by July 31 daily extent tracked fourth lowest in the satellite record, just below the extent seen last year at this time, and also just above that seen in 2007, 2011, and 2012. Extent remained unusually low in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic, including the Barents, Kara, Laptev, and East Greenland Seas, whereas the ice edge in the Beaufort and East Siberian Seas remained near average. By the end of July, the ice within Hudson Bay had all melted out and the ice edge in the Chukchi Sea had also retreated far north of its average position for this time of year. This pattern is in stark contrast to last year when by July’s end, the ice edge was located far north of its usual position in the Beaufort and East Siberian Seas while with ice on the Atlantic side, extent was near average.”

    Conditions in context

    These are now cast observations compared to ten years ago. The sea ice in the artic circle has indeed declined I’ve the period of Havana poons non scientific hit job piece. 50 percent change was the prediction according to the non scientific snark hit piece. So the prediction in fact came true.

    Do you have a link to a direct quotation of Hansen? I'd like to compare what he said in 2008 to the reality, but don't want to rely on paraphrasing. Thanks.

    Here's a better and more recent visualization:



    Arctic sea ice doesn't typically hit its annual low point until mid-September, so we have another month of further melting to go before the annual nadir.

    Al Gore said the arctic might be ice free in about a decade a decade ago. He was pretty close tbh. It will definitely be ice free in our lifetime, and I'm sure you'll move on to another talking point once we hit that.

    I’ve seen it first hand in Alaska, the glaciers are receding. I know what the villages up there are facing and how it is impacting their lives.

    I have no idea. I think if it has been taken serious 30’years ago that measures could have been taken to help ease these communities. I think of how polluted LA use to be and how measures helped clean the air.

    It all stems from the right's love for big oil & coal. Big oil has them by the balls so they have to be vehemently against:
    alternative/renewable energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines
    Global warming/climate change
    All Gore
    Elon Musk
    Hybrid auto technology

    They have their orders from above and they have to obey. Forget about the truth and facts.
    If it's not in the right wing playbook, they won't believe it.

    Sad
    Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
    “We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

    If u took an above pic of North America 10k years ago, u would see most of it covered in ice

    It melted away

    What impact did man Exxon etc have on that huge shrinkage in ice?
