Top climate scientists and newspapers predict an ice-free Arctic this summer.

Arctic could become ice-free for first time in more than 100,000 years, claims leading scientist | Climate Change | Environment | The Independent

If they are going to do that, they better start melting that four meter thick ice at the North Pole.

They only have 60 days left this summer to melt the ice, which might be tough at temperatures just above freezing.

Sub-freezing temperatures in Mid-July won’t help much either.

Persistent cloud cover won’t help much either.

Fraud is the gold standard for climate science, and most newspapers refuse to print opinions of any scientist who is not a participant in the fraud.

So how did that turn out?

The heatwave of July, 1936 was by far the worst in US history.

Temperatures were far beyond anything Americans are familiar with now.

Utter nonsense. Temperature records in New York show that summer heat peaked there over 60 years ago, and that there is no long term trend towards hotter weather.

Government experts say that 2016 is the hottest year ever, even though it isn’t. They aren’t paid to tell the truth.

Crack government funded scientists are baffled why their imaginary Greenland meltdown is not affecting the Gulf Stream.

Greenland ice sheet meltdown not affecting Gulf Stream – yet 

It never occurred to them to look at the data and understand that Greenland isn’t actually melting. Greenland’s surface has gained 530 billion tons of ice since last summer, and is tracking well above normal.

It is mid-summer in Greenland, and temperatures in the center of the ice sheet are -15C

My flight yesterday tracked south of Greenland, but I did manage to get a few pictures of glaciers at the southern tip of the island.

Anyone with an IQ over 30 understands that ice doesn’t melt at -15C. This group however does not include climate scientists, or progressives.

One week ago our brilliant secretary of state determined that glaciers calving off Greenland’s Jakobshavn glacier indicated a looming catastrophe.

Standing near Greenland’s Jakobshavn glacier, the reputed source of the iceberg that sank the Titanic over a century ago, U.S Secretary of State John Kerry saw evidence of another looming catastrophe.  Giant icebergs broken off from the glacier seemed to groan as they drifted behind him, signaling eventual rising oceans that scientists warn will submerge islands and populated coastal region.

Global Warming: John Kerry sees looming climate catastrophe after Arctic visit

Glaciers are rivers of ice. Excess snow falls in the interior, and glaciers carry the ice to the sea where it calves. Glaciers calving is an essential process required to return the 500 billion tons of annual snowfall to the sea, and has nothing to do with global warming. Kerry was seemingly aware that this was occurring in 1912, but perhaps no one told him that the Jakobshavn glacier has been retreating for hundreds of years.

Scientists have been warning of the Greenland glacier and rising sea catastrophe for as long as anyone can remember. They get attention and raise money by telling scary stories.

Then Kerry went full stupid at the South Pole.

Briefed by researchers aboard a Royal Danish Navy patrol ship, Kerry appeared stunned by how fast the ice sheets are melting. He was struck by the more dire warnings he heard about the same process underway in more remote Antarctica.

Antarctica is gaining ice, not losing it.

“This has been a significant eye-opener for me and I’ve spent 25 years or more engaged in this issue,” Kerry said on the deck of the ship with Danish Foreign Minister Kristian Jensen during a two-day visit that ended late on Friday.

Kerry is a brainless political hack, whose top accomplishments over the past 50 years are lying about his military experience and selling out his country to various communist and Islamic terror states.

If climate experts want to melt the North Pole, they have about 60 days left to do it.

The ice north of 80N is generally about 2-3 meters thick. It would require about 800 million joules of energy to melt a one square meter column of ice that thick.

If there were no clouds, over the next 60 days the North Pole would receive about 1,500 million joules of solar energy per square meter, the vast majority of which  would occur in the next 30 days. That would be enough to melt all of the two meter thick ice. The problems are that the ice is white and reflects most of the sunlight, and that it is cloudy most of the time at the North Pole in summer.

If climate experts want to melt the North Pole, they have to figure out how to make the clouds disappear. I’m sure they can do that with their climate models.

Scientists have definitively explained why past global warming led to even more warming, which kept feeding back on itself unstoppably until the planet melted.
