   Thanks for posting that Steve, made me laugh. I chuckled when he wrote :-

   ************
   2010:
   Many hottest weather records are broken in northern hemisphere.
   Summer arctic ice at record low in extent.
   By September the Arctic Ocean is freely navigable by both the northern sea route and the north west passage.

   2011:
   Reduced ice cover affects sea temperatures, in turn affecting Arctic current flows and air movements. Thinner ice, instead of piling up as pressure ridges due to compression effects, cracks into sections due to tension and agitation effects.
   The Arctic is virtually ice-free by late summer: there is open water at the North Pole.

   The fact of being broadly correct in most of my predictions during 2010 does not mean that I will be proven correct this year in the above and the following predictions for 2011. But I respectfully submit that my successes make my 2011 forecasts more worthy of serious scientific discussion.
   ******************

   How does he mean broadly correct, he had two statements about the Arctic and only one was correct, that’s 50%! Half right and he is going on about his successes. I’m sure these people delude themselves.

   His guesses for this year will be well out, must bookmark this for later this year.

     And the North Pole must have been ice free in 2008
