National Geographic predicts Arctic sea ice will be gone in fourteen years. Fourteen years ago, they predicted the ice would be gone by 2012.
Arctic Sea Ice Gone in Summer Within Five Years?
Arctic summer sea ice could be gone by as early as 2035
The only thing which has disappeared is their original prediction, which now can only be found on the Internet Archive.
“the rate of (Greenland) warming in 1920 – 1930 was about 50% higher than that in 1995 – 2005”
“Ice loss in Greenland has had some climatologists speculating that global warming might have brought on a scary new regime of wildly heightened ice loss and an ever-faster rise in sea level. But glaciologists reported at the American Geophysical Union meeting that Greenland ice’s Armageddon has come to an end.”

In 1969, the Canadian Government said :
“Officials said recently the exact route will depend on ice conditions at the time. The Northwest Passage is open normally no more than two months in the year, but sometimes four months.”
Ten years ago, the Irish Times reported that China’s five year plan would reduce “carbon intensity” by 16 percent, and that the US was “falling behind.”
Move to put climate change back on agenda
Since then, Chinese CO2 emissions have skyrocketed while US emissions have continued their fifteen year decline.
“Indeed, 2010 was officially one of the hottest years on record, with heatwaves, floods, landslides, forest fires and other “extreme weather events”.
“UN climate chief Christiana Figueres insisted that Cancún was “a solid step forward for strengthened global climate action”, and she has called on governments to “maintain momentum” in the run-up to Durban.”
Nothing that these people are doing is having any impact on CO2 emissions or climate.
