Experts say the earth is much warmer now than 6,000 years ago when the Arctic was ice-free and trees grew all the way to the edge of the Arctic Ocean.

Winter temperatures at Spitzbergen warmed 16 degrees from 1910 to 1938.
Scientists tell us we have a 10-year window — if even that — before catastrophic climate change becomes inevitable and irreversible. The threat is real, and time is not on our side.
Facts, as John Adams said, are stubborn things. Here are a few you need to know: Atmospheric carbon-dioxide levels have risen 38% in the industrial era, from 280 to 385 parts per million (ppm). Scientists have warned that anything above 450 ppm — a warming of 2 degrees Celsius — will result in an unacceptable risk of catastrophic climate change.
The truth is that the threat we face is not an abstract concern for the future. It is already upon us and its effects are being felt worldwide, right now. Scientists project that the Arctic will be ice-free in the summer of 2013. Not in 2050, but four years from now.”

“There is a possibility of an ice-free Arctic Ocean for a short period in summer perhaps as early as 2015.”

In 2009, the Center for Biological Diversity predicted an ice-free Arctic by 2012. Now they have pushed the date back to “the 2030s”
“climate scientists say the Arctic could be completely ice free in the summer by 2012.”
“climate scientists say the Arctic could be completely ice free in the summer by the 2030s.”
In 2007, Professor Wieslaw Maslowski from the Naval Postgraduate School, made this projection :
“Our projection of 2013 for the removal of ice in summer is not accounting for the last two minima, in 2005 and 2007,” the researcher from the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, explained to the BBC.
“So given that fact, you can argue that may be our projection of 2013 is already too conservative.”

Two years later when it was obvious he was wrong, he tried to blame it on Al Gore.
However, the climatologist whose work Mr Gore was relying upon dropped the former Vice-President in the water with an icy blast.
“It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at,” Dr Maslowski said. “I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”

Then in 2011 he changed the prediction to 2016.

The University of Maine Climate Reanalyzer uses fake NOAA temperature data to generate their graphs and erase the heat of the past.

EUROPE EUROPEAN GLACIERS In the opinion of M. Auguste Bouchayer, scientist and engineer, there were no glaciers in Europe in th: Middle Ages. In a recent communication to the Dauphine Scientific Society, he submits the conclusion that since the Middle Ages there has been considerable fall in the maximum summer temperature. Consequently winter snows and ice accumulations which were formerly melted in summer are no longer thus dissipated Mont Blanc, he points out, is under 16,000 feet in height, and, as in the thirteenth: century the maximum summer temperature was capable of melting snow and ice at a much greater height than that, there could in those times be no eternal snow on its summit. Glaciers, he adds, are dependent for their formation and existence on eternal snows; therefore there can have been no glaciers on Mont Blanc in the Middle Ages.”
A simple explanation of how NOAA rewrites US history to turn a long-term cooling trend into a warming trend.
