If current trends continue, the Arctic will be ice-free on August 15, 2017. Nobel laureates agree with my conservative forecast.

Experts say that 2016 was the hottest year ever™.
During July and August last year, maximum temperatures at Oklahoma City averaged 13 degrees cooler in 2016 than they did in 1936. Every day except one was cooler than 1936.
On August 2, 1930 twenty-five states were over 100 degrees. AL AR AZ CA CO IA IL IN KS KY LA MI MN MO MS MT ND NE NM OH OK SD TN TX VA
On August 2, 1955 twenty-four states were over 100 degrees. AZ CA CO IA ID KS MN MO MT ND NE NJ NV NY OK SD TX UT VA WY

August 2nd afternoon temperatures have plummeted in the US since 1930.
However, minimum temperatures have increased, mostly since 1990.
This is likely due to UHI effects including asphalt, irrigation and air conditioning. When I ride my bicycle out of open space and into a neighborhood on a still summer night, I immediately notice a sharp increase in temperature.
It was pretty cool last night in Boulder, but fortunately my first Amazon Fresh order came packed in dry ice this morning. So I was able to release lots of CO2 and warm the planet by several degrees.
Success of my experiment was confirmed by official US government thermometers, which showed seven degrees warming in the half hour after I started releasing the CO2.

Every good climate scientist knows that correlation equals causation, so I have confirmed the dangers of global warming.

I now predict the Arctic will be ice-free during the morning of Dec. 6, 2017 – at a temperature of -29.4C.
Prior to 1960, August 1 was typically a very hot day in the US with about half of the US over 90 degrees. Since 1960, the percentage of the US over 90 degrees on August 1 has dropped to about 40%.
On August 1, 1955 every state was over 90 degrees, and twenty states recorded temperatures over 100 degrees. (AZ CA CO IA ID KS MN MO MT ND NE NJ NV NY OK SD TX UT VA WY)
The New York Times says extremely hot weather was unheard of in the 1950’s, but as with everything else – they are lying.
