ExclusiveStudy: Arctic Ice Is NOT Melting

The UN says that the melting of Arctic ice is a key sign of climate change. However, there's no melting. But according to the latest assessment report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is a United Nations organization, the Arctic ice is melting. The panel claimed that because of increased carbon dioxide, CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions, simulations predict that the Arctic will be without ice during September by 2050. However, a similar prediction was made in 2013. At that time, the prediction was for no ice by 2033. Yet another new report. This one by Alan Astrup Jensen, who is the Research Director and CEO at the Nordic Institute of Product Sustainability and Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology in Denmark, shows that from September of 2007 through September of 2023, Arctic sea ice declines were near zero. The report states the facts are that the Arctic sea ice extent, measured by satellites since 1978, expresses annual variations, and it had declined considerably from 1997 to 2007. However, before that time period, from 1978 to 1996, the downward trend was minimal, and in the last 17 years, from 2007 to 2023, the downward trend has been about zero. Therefore, Jensen argues that there's no reason to expect the Arctic sea summer ice to disappear completely within two or three decades, as predicted. Jensen noted that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and other organizations exclude the possibility that sea ice extent may actually expand in the future. To understand better, let's take a look at the timeline in more detail. In September of 1979, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that the yearly minimum of Arctic sea ice was 2.72 million square miles. At the same time, CO2 concentrations were 7.1 parts per million. Nearly 20 years later, in 1996, CO2 concentrations reached 362.58 parts per million, and the yearly minimum of Arctic sea ice increased to 2.93 million square miles. After 1996, the extent of sea ice declined until 2007. The most significant drop occurred between 2006 and 2007. After the 2007 results were released, the American Geophysical Union issued a report warning that the Arctic may be on the verge of fundamental change. Suddenly, images of starving polar bears trapped on floating ice slabs went viral. Also, because of their declining habitat, on May 15th, 2008, polar bears were listed as threatened. However, sea ice extent recordings in September of 2008 and 2009 increased again, and from 2007 to 2023, the sea ice declines have been nearly zero. In September of 2023, the Arctic yearly minimum of sea ice was 1.69 million square miles. That is an increase of about 40,000 square miles from 2007. It's worth mentioning that 2023 was the year that was called by far the warmest year in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's 174-year climate record. Jensen said, Surprised me that many people, including scientists and even friends, are difficult to convince that the sea ice has been unchanged since 2007, even though I used the same official data also used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. They are brainwashed by the many alarmist news articles telling about a decrease in the Arctic sea ice and by their great respect for the UN organization. Jensen noted, the sharp decrease in Arctic sea ice extent was before 2007 when the Nobel Prize was delivered to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC. The IPCC and Al Gore said that they were supposed to continue forever, yet Jensen said, when it became clear that the decrease had stopped, they should have stopped such predictions. That was, however, difficult politically for them because that would put the whole issue of climate change by CO2 in doubt since the Arctic sea ice decline had been a major argument for the CO2 theory.
