Three years ago, climate alarmists announced that Arctic sea ice extent had dropped (at -30C)  to record low winter levels. Mark Serreze said “We’re heading for summers with no sea ice coverage at all.”

In 2008, Serreze predicted an ice-free North Pole that summer, and announced that the Arctic is screaming.

Four years ago, he suggested that some sailors try to sail to the North Pole.

There has been no trend in Arctic sea ice extent since the start of MASIE records in 2006.

Ice extent is now “normal” – so climate alarmists have quite predictably determined that winter extent is no longer a relevant metric.

Now they want to focus on ice thickness, which is about two meters.

Which is the same as 1958, when sea ice extent was low.

Meanwhile, climate experts have found “for the first time” a direct cause and effect relationship between melting sea ice and extreme weather in California.

Scientists now predict that winter temperatures in the Arctic will rise 9 degrees over the next 30 years.

When in a pinch, Zeke Hausfather is the go-to-man for climate disinformation. Here is one section of his latest work. He claims ignorance about the historical retreat of glaciers, and bases his argument around hearsay, misinformation and the beliefs of people who have been consistently wrong.

He could have gone to the Glacier Bay National Park website, and found out that Alaska’s largest glacier retreated 45 miles from 1750 to 1880.

But Glacier Bay hardly retreated at all over the last 50 years.

He could have gone to the USGS web site and found out that Glacier National Park has been retreating since 1850.

Experts predicted Glacier National Park would be ice free by 1948.

He could have gone to the NASA web site, and found out that the Jakobshavn Glacier (which is now advancing) retreated very rapidly from 1851 to 1964, and then hardly at all through the end of the 20th century. Over the last three years it has been advancing.

When the glacier started advancing in 2016, climate experts were saying it was “retreating at galloping speed.” These are the same experts whom Zeke uses for his sources of  hearsay.
