Ice cream surprise
May 8, 2025 by ClimateNews Editor
John Kerry predicted in 2009 that the Arctic would be ice-free in the summer of 2013. Al Gore, the former US vice president, said something similar a little earlier.These theses have clearly not come true so far.
Roger Pielke Jr. has written an
for the New York Post that deals with the topic of ice loss in the Arctic and Antarctic.
In 2009, then-Sen. John Kerry warned that the Arctic Ocean would be ice-free by 2013: "Scientists tell us we have a 10-year window — if even that — before catastrophic climate change becomes inevitable and irreversible," he said.
Today, six years after that 10-year window closed, catastrophic climate change has not occurred, even as the planet has indeed continued to warm due primarily to the combustion of fossil fuels.
Partisans in the climate debate should learn from Kerry's crying wolf.
