In 2008, Mark Serreze forecast an ice-free pole for the summer, because the ice was so thin.
No one is making those kinds of forecasts any more, because the ice is thicker now.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Serreze is now my go-to guy for Arctic sea ice minimum forecasts. From now on, every spring I will expect a sea-ice-free Arctic summer.
So it has been written. So it shall be done!
Dr. Serreze has not called for the Arctic to become seasonally ice-free in the near-term. His best guess is that such a situation could occur around 2030.
From the BBC:
“My thinking on this is that 2030 is not an unreasonable date to be thinking of.”

Are you saying he is guessing?
He predicted an ice-free pole in 2008
Me,
The point is that Dr. Serreze did not forecast and ice-free Arctic in the near-term in 2008. The 2008 article makes clear that he was thinking that such an outcome could occur around 2030.
Serreze forecast an ice-free north pole in 2008

Check the healy. not a speck in site.
