>Dire predictions that the Arctic would be free of sea ice by September of this year have proven to be unfounded after latest satellite images showed there is far more ice now than in 2012

Fuck off faggot, I've been on /out/ since the board was born. I'm still here, though things have been going to shit lately what with all the tumblr/leddit overflow.
>what the fuck did you just blah blah blah gorilla warfare blah blah dead, kiddo
Just read the article, it was like a few scientists that predicted the absence of sea ice while other models show it lasting awhile longer. A few people were wrong, that's how science works. You make a prediction, see if it works, then go back and revise your hypothesis with the available data.
Is this supposed to be some sort of "climate change isn't real" thread?

it's a troll thread and you just got trolled
posting a thread about sea ice predictions in fucking /out/ seriously lmao 4/10

Wow, such a shocker.

It's a pretty lame troll thread. The one about the "80% of out blah blah blah" does it better

>damn chinese pollution is trapping the sun's heat!
Still waiting for my apology from all the shills
Haha this guy (a hero of granolas)on his deathbed admits global warming is bullshit

>His predictions were not easy to forget or dismiss. Sometimes described as a futurist, Lovelock has been Britain’s leading independent scientist for more than 50 years. His Gaia hypothesis, which contends that the earth is a single, self-regulating organism, is now accepted as the founding principle of most climate science, and his invention of a device to detect CFCs helped identify the hole in the ozone layer. A defiant generalist in an era of increasingly specialised study, and a mischievous provocateur, Lovelock is regarded by many as a scientific genius.
James Lovelock speaking in 2014: ‘We should give up on saving the planet’
What has changed dramatically, however, is his position on climate change. He now says: “Anyone who tries to predict more than five to 10 years is a bit of an idiot, because so many things can change unexpectedly.” But isn’t that exactly what he did last time we met? “I know,” he grins teasingly. “But I’ve grown up a bit since then.”
Lovelock now believes that “CO2 is going up, but nowhere near as fast as they thought it would. The computer models just weren’t reliable. In fact,” he goes on breezily, “I’m not sure the whole thing isn’t crazy, this climate change. You’ve only got to look at Singapore. It’s two-and-a-half times higher than the worst-case scenario for climate change, and it’s one of the most desirable cities in the world to live in.”
The entire earth will be underwater by 2017. The world temperature will increase by an average of 20 degrees by the end of the decade, however, if you elect Hillary Clinton this will not happen. If you elect Dontald Drumpf the earth will be destroyed.

OP. I'm a scientist by trade. Normally what happens is you have a trend and then you have a plus or minus range from the trend to represent the potential error range in the trend. With that in place you should more or less have a general prediction of the change that is occurring with some leeway for anomalies. For a scientist to say with certainty that arctic ice is going to be gone by september 2016, they've essentially proved themselves not to be a scientist. But take a look at the plots and even a retarded monkey can see it's getting less. There's cycles on the order of 5 years or so but what we have maybe 30 years or any ice left if it continues like this? So you asking for an apology is like you asking me to sharpen an axe I borrowed that already had a hairline crack running through it and is fucked anyway. If we're lucky a major asteroid strike or volcanic eruption occurs though and sends us into a temporary global cooling period. But in any case, sooner or later the arctic as a cold region is fucked. Probably take hundreds of years to normalize things at this point even if we were able to get people to start.
