The decline in Arctic sea-ice has become a poster child for climate change. Who can forget that Al Gore won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for, among other failed climate predictions, saying that the Arctic sea-ice would vanish in the following 5–7 years. It didn’t, and in fact, as re-emphasised in a new research paper, it stabilised.

Stern (2025), writing in Geophysical Research Letters, says that this stabilisation amounts to a regime shift in the behaviour of Arctic ice.

Since satellite observations began in 1979 until 2007 there was an approximately linear decline in September sea-ice extent. In September 2007 it had the largest year-on-year decline in the satellite data record. But 2007 marked a change.

Since then, there have been yearly fluctuations, but no long-term decline. When this was pointed out by so-called sceptics as some kind of ice-pause, the reaction from climate alarmists was, well, predictable. But the sceptics were proved right, as they were with the global temperature hiatus.

I love how they make the baseline 1979... When these same people thought we were entering into glaciation period (what they called an ice age). And then demand that the trend going warmer after that is something unusual when in fact it was just returning to normal after being unusually cold. A bunch of liars.
