If you want to know what the weather is like, stick your head out of the window. That’s great advice for the left, too, except they will have to remove their heads from somewhere else first.
In 2007, a BBC News article titled "Arctic summers ice-free 'by 2013” warned readers of the supposed threat that "latest modeling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years." Which, of course, was typical for the gloom and doom scenarios that used climate misinformation to instil fear and panic into the world’s population.
The article was based on an announcement made by Professor Wieslaw Maslowski, who, at the time, told an American Geophysical Union meeting that previous projections had underestimated the processes now driving ice loss.
Summer melting that year reduced the ice cover to 4.13 million sq km, the smallest ever extent in modern times.
"Our summer ice removal projection for 2013 does not account for the recent minima in 2005 and 2007," explained the researcher from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, to the BBC.
"So given that fact, you can argue that maybe our projection of 2013 is already too conservative."
"My claim is that the global climate models underestimate the amount of heat delivered to the sea ice by oceanic advection. The reason is that their low spatial resolution actually limits them from seeing important detailed factors.”
"We use a high-resolution regional model for the Arctic Ocean and sea ice forced with realistic atmospheric data. This way, we get much more realistic forcing, from above by the atmosphere and from the bottom by the ocean."
Analyzing potential future scenarios using supercomputers has been and still is a key aspect of climate science.
Professor Maslowski's group, which included co-workers at NASA and the Institute of Oceanology, Polish Academy of Sciences (PAS), is well known for producing modeled dates that are ahead of other teams.
Various teams have projected dates for an open summer ocean, ranging from approximately 2040 to 2100.
However, the Monterey researcher believed these models have seriously underestimated some key melting processes. Professor Maslowski was adamant that models need to incorporate more realistic representations of how warm water is moving into the Arctic basin from the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
There is a lot of scientific jargon in there, trying to justify the unjustifiable. However, not surprisingly, it’s all been nothing but nonsense.
Need Proof: This year's minimum Arctic sea ice extent was 26 percent larger than in 2012.
Really? You would never know that if you listened to the MSM.
The only film clip they ever show is that same section of glacier collapsing into the sea. You know, the one I’m talking about—it’s the same one they’ve been showing for the last five years at least. Meanwhile, not only is all of the ice not gone, but it’s also increased by 26 percent and is thicker in places.
