In order to be a hero of the left, you need to repeatedly demonstrate that you are completely incompetent.

(Reuters) – A record melt of Arctic summer sea ice this month may be a sign that global warming is reaching a critical trigger point that could accelerate the northern thaw, some scientists say.“The reason so much (of the Arctic ice) went suddenly is that it is hitting a tipping point that we have been warning about for the past few years,” James Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told Reuters.

who cares?
greenies do…and Hansen for some reason…that’s right, trying to scare us.
Nghiem 2007, “Rapid reduction of Arctic perennial sea ice.”

Figure 3. Time-series of area of perennial sea ice extent in
March of each year estimated by the Drift-Age Model (with
a fifth-order regression) and observed by QuikSCAT
satellite scatterometer within the model domain. In each
year, the model result was an average over March, and the
satellite observation was on the spring equinox (21 March).
Hansen reached a tipping points years before – when he first hypothesized global warming.
Since then he’s prediction have ensured global trade meltdown, worldwide stagnation, and neutered governments who stupidly following his premonitions.
According to Hansen, the ice in the Arctic has had 5 more years to melt…
So why does the ice appear much denser at the pole now than in 2007 ?

Answer: Because Hansen’s forecast of doom is wrong.
The Arctic sea ice did tip. It tipped toward a strong recovery.
The tipping point in the Arctic is about every thirty years when the weather pattern changes from one regime to another.
