Arctic sea ice volume loss dropped again yesterday, so I am pushing my ice free-Arctic forecast date out to September 28, 2018 at 11:39 PM. There won’t be any sunlight on that date, but Reggie will be out there with his blowtorch.
Ice volume melt rates have dropped 65% to their lowest level since early June.
Note that my forecast is quite conservative compared to our leading climate scientists – who believe the Arctic has been ice-free for the past five years.
“our projection of (an ice-free Arctic in) 2013 is already too conservative.”
