By\u00a0P Gosselin<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late summer Arctic Sea ice extent has remained steady for almost 2 decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the late 2000s, experts and climate bedwetters, like Al Gore \u2013 warned the late summer Arctic Sea ice would disappear already by 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That prediction has yet to even come anywhere near close to happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the\u00a0US National Snow and Ice data Center<\/a>\u00a0(NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder, the Arctic Sea ice melt this year has long reached its low point, falling to 4.602 million square kilometers on September 10th:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the record low of 3.387 million square kilometers that occurred 13 years ago, 2012, this year\u2019s value is more than 1.2 million square kilometers greater,<\/strong> and nearly half a million square kilometers more than 2007 (4.155 million square kilometers.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Arctic lat summer sea ice trend has been flat for nearly 2 decades, defying the global warming trend prediction that it would melt to almost nothing by now. The alarmists have been completely wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
