As the media have collaborated to bombard the populace with environmental and climate doom propaganda, it is only fair and reasonable to hold their feet to the fire (as it were) and examine past media promoted predictions that have failed to materialise.
From Associated Press, June 24, 2008
Dr Hansen was right. Twenty years later we recognise him as a climate prophet.
No, we don’t. We recognise him as a climate charlatan.
Hansen left himself some wriggle room. In 5 -10 years, the summer sea ice in the Arctic would be gone. So that would be some time between June 2013 and June 2018.
June 2018 was a little under the average and one of the lower extents in the satellite record but there was still 10 million km2 of ice up there. The Arctic was certainly NOT ice-free.
Current score: Experts 0 – Reality 20.
