Global warming alarmists have been shown once again to have poor predictive powers. We heard a lot of hype recently in the media about all of the ice at the North Pole melting this summer. (In case you don't follow the news much and don't believe me see here, here, here, here, here, and here.) Well it didn't happen. By now we should be used to this. Remember when global warming was going to bring record hurricanes? That didn't happen either. Instead of a record loss of ice, what we got was the most ice since 2004. Don't take my word for it, visit the National Snow and Ice Data Center web site. Just to give an idea of exactly how far off the alarmists were. Below is an image of the 9 million sq km of ice at the North Pole in July of this year, just a small bit below the median for July.
Of course, there are still six weeks left in the melting season so some are still raising concerns about the "thinning ice" and still say we may have open waters at the North Pole this summer. Fat chance.HT: DaveScott at Uncommon Descent
