“Examination of several proxy records (e.g., sediment cores) of sea ice indicate ice-free or near ice-free summer conditions for at least some time during the period of 15,000 to 5,000 years ago”

The Polar Bears must have gone extinct. And the Walruses. I’ll bet the Penguins died off in Antarctica too.
According to John Holdren and James Hansen, an ice free Arctic would also make the planet uninhabitable by humans.
“If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium and you are already dead!”
Old Walt seems to be getting a real thorn in the side of Serreeze.
Yea, reality can be really inconvenient.
Actually I think it went something like this: The polar bears they survived, what with them seemingly prefer dry land and not exercising unnecessary in the swimming department and all that, they’re crazy lazy after all. The walruses also survived. The penguins though, OMG, they all died off and wasn’t resurrected until early 90’s, erm that would be the 1990’s for all the cubs.
IPCC seemed to be interested in buying my story though, but they said they already had six so they’d think it over.

Arctic Ice & Polar Bears – More ‘GW propaganda of the 2nd kind’
-The true story of pack-ice off Iceland according to HMSO Official Reports-
All changes in the Arctic & Antarctic follow natural highly variable patterns. They are not new or special and have been recorded for over a thousand years and have been very well known to the British navy for a long time and available in the Met Office library**. The Antarctic has been cooling for decades & the Arctic has started to cool in the last year or two. Ice break-up is a natural process and has been happening for millions of years – before media noticed.
**HMSO 1963 Weather In the Home Fleet waters Vol 1 Northern Seas part 1 table XV page 246 shows the very high variability of ice off Iceland (eg) since 1900 and the
long periods of change of two decades or more. Figures 124 & 125 (page 256) show that historical records indicate there was no pack ice off Iceland for about 180 years
from 1020AD to 1200AD yet there was plenty of pack ice through the rapid expansion of industry since 1900 (Fig 126 page 257).
AND Global warmers cannot predict the weather either….
