Al Gore’s Global Warming Movement Has Officially FAILED! ‘Global Fossil Fuel Use Keeps Increasing’ – ‘Fossil fuels supplied 81% of world energy in 2024 – A 163% increase since 1971

I suspect also that recently melted sea ice in the Beaufort Sea will refreeze relatively quickly. The region just dipped under the 15% threshold within the last few weeks, so I would imagine still at least 5 to 10% cover in that region, and with low salinity, this region will quickly refreeze and rise above the 15% threshold. So expect a steep acceleration in initial sea ice extent – similar to September/early October 2025.

There will, according to this forecast also likely to be a slight loss of sea ice on the Russian side (Kara and Laptev Seas) but the milder air is predominantly going to be over areas that are already ice free, so not significant ice loss in that region, as compared to area potentially refreezing quickly.

Of course, all as expected at this time of year. Nothing new, nothing catastrophic….. just the Arctic doing what it always does 😁

This is a very good and important question! The NSIDC and the DMI are the main organisations that do research into sea ice. I read several years back that, multi year ice is in serious decline. But for vast areas of sea ice, crucially not yet at the point where it drops below the 15% threshold, the Arctic Ocean would be virtually ice free each September. Once those areas do drop below the 15%, then very suddenly, we’ll see a huge loss…..at least that’s how the theory goes!
However, for over 2 decades, I’ve been reading similar scare stories that are related to multi year sea ice and sea ice volume. So far, those dire predictions have not yet come to pass. Maybe it’s just around the corner? Maybe not! What is certainly the case, is that Arctic sea ice during the melt season has been proving much more resilient than we have been led to believe.
