Doomsday Climate Predictions Meltdown: Arctic Sea Ice Extent Reaches 12-Year
Mid-August High

By P Gosselin

According to Al Gore, based on statements and "science" from "leading climate
experts", the Arctic was supposed to be ice-free in the summer already years
ago.

Now that the summer ice melt season in the Arctic will end soon, by the middle
of next month, it's a good time to see how Al Gore's prediction is faring. To
do this we look at the latest from data the National Snow and Ice Data Center
(NSIDC):

Snowfan here zooms in on the chart for greater detail and reports that for this
date, ice extent in the Arctic stands at a 12-year high:

It would be accurate to say that Al Gore's prediction has turned out to be on
par from what you'd expect from a swindling fortune teller reading tea leaves
and a crystal ball.
