"Melting Arctic Ice is a Key Indicator of Climate Change"—But It’s Not Melting

It’s bad news for polar bears, but not really

according to the most recent assessment report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a United Nations organization.

Because of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions, modeling and simulations predict the Arctic will be without ice during the month of September by 2050.

“We project an ice-free Arctic in September under all scenarios considered,” a scientific report highlighting IPCC’s findings states.

“These results emphasize the profound impacts of greenhouse gas emissions on the Arctic.”

A similar prediction was made in 2013, but at that time, the prediction was for no ice by about 2033.

However, a new report by Allan Astrup Jensen, the research director and CEO at the Nordic Institute of Product Sustainability and Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology in Denmark, shows that from September 2007 through September 2023, Arctic sea ice declines were near zero.

These data show that there is no apparent correlation between the variable extent of the Arctic and the Antarctic Sea ice and the gradually increasing CO2-concentrations in the atmosphere as proposed by NSIDC, IPCC and others, also for these areas of cold climate
