Arctic sea ice volume loss slowed again yesterday, so I am now pushing my ice-free Arctic forecast out to October 5, 2018 at 2:31 am.

Volume is the fourth highest in the DMI record, and likely to move into the #3 spot in about two weeks.

Scientists, Nobel Prize winners and Democratic Party prophets have been predicting the ice-free Arctic for a very long time, and now we are only a few weeks away.

“She was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

And her husband is a rapist.  Democrats nominated Clintons three times, and the most recent time they made the rapist spouse their keynote speaker.

Treason is when you publish private conversations of Democrats.  Pulitzer Prize winning journalism is when you publish private conversations of Republicans.

In 1972,  forty-two “top European and American investigators” predicted a rapidly approaching new ice age –  based on an increase in snow and ice cover from 1967-1972.

The Arctic climate was becoming more frigid, the ice was getting “ominously thicker.”

The dew point in Montreal is 74 degrees right now (~30,000 PPM H2O), compared with 20 degrees in Death Valley (~3,000 PPM H2O.)  With greenhouse gas levels 10X higher in Montreal than Death Valley, there can be little doubt that Montreal must be extremely hot and Death Valley must be extremely cold.

We know this because our top scientists say heatwaves are caused by greenhouse gases.

And speaking of the Arctic heat wave being widely reported in the press, the North Pole is having their coldest summer on record.

Highly sophisticated, peace and science loving Democrats are certain the North Pole has melted, and that Republicans need to be “punched in the neck.”

James Cook on Twitter: “Climate change. It’s here. It’s catastrophic

I could write an entire encyclopedia documenting similar weather events from the past. but here a few line items from James Cook’s clueless tweet.

In 1902, fires were burning all over Greece.

In 1972, at the peak of the ice age scare, fires were burning all over Arctic Norway.

In 1922, Japan and China had a heatwave over 100 degrees for weeks.

The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth (134 degrees) occurred this month 105 years ago.

During July 1934, 80% of the US was in extreme or severe drought.

Current drought conditions are much less severe, and the drought region of the southwest has been getting lots of rain since this map was made last week.

Imagine the hysteria from James Cook if  he was transported back to 1931. On this date in 1931, forest fires were the headline story in US newspapers.

Meanwhile, the worst floods in history were occurring in China, which killed more than three million people.

There is no indication that the climate is getting more extreme.  Fake news writers like James Cook take commonplace weather events and declare them to be catastrophic climate change – without doing any historical research or actual journalism.  And their most egregious failing is a refusal to talk to people (like myself) who are familiar with history.

We have seen censorship like this in the past. When only one point of view is allowed to be presented by state news agencies, journalists are nothing more than propagandists. Particularly when their viewpoint is incorrect.

I’m not sure what she is worried about, because according to big-league climatologists, global warming killed us almost 20 years ago.

The conclusion, conveyed with great authority by several big-league climatologists from government and private research organizations, is terrible: by the year 2000, the atmosphere and weather will grow warmer by several degrees and life – animal, plant, human – will be threatened.

Arctic sea ice volume loss dropped again yesterday, so I am pushing my ice free-Arctic forecast date out to September 28, 2018 at 11:39 PM. There won’t be any sunlight on that date, but Reggie will be out there with his blowtorch.

Spreadsheet    Data

Note that my forecast is quite conservative compared to our leading climate scientists – who believe the Arctic has been ice-free for the past five years.

“our projection of (an ice-free Arctic in) 2013 is already too conservative.”

On the other hand, with cold weather in the forecast, the Arctic sea ice minimum volume could end up second or first highest in the DMI record.

Ice volume melt rates have dropped 65% to their lowest level since early June.
