Arctic Sea Ice Extent at decade high 12/2/14, 30%+ concentration. Tragic Al Gore prediction 7 yrs. ago at Nobel podium that Arctic would be ice free by 2013 or 2014 caused trillions of dollars to change hands, starved real problems of help. 'Climate talks' in Peru should address reparations for societies victimized by failed climate scares, crimes against humanity

"We are just one week away from the Al Gore Nobel Prize winning ice-free Arctic forecast, and Arctic sea ice extent is at a record high for the past decade, and rising at record pace."...

12/3/14, "Arctic Sea Ice Extent," DMI Center for Ocean and Ice. Concentration higher than 30%

Black line is 2014. 

















Wed., 12/3/2014, "Sea ice extent in recent years (in million km2) for the northern hemisphere, as a function of date."

"Current Sea Ice Extent" 

"The ice extent values are calculated from the ice type data from the Ocean and Sea Ice, Satellite Application Facility (OSISAF), where areas with ice concentration higher than 30% are classified as ice.

The total area of sea ice is the sum of First Year Ice (FYI), Multi Year Ice (MYI) and the area of ambiguous ice types, from the
OSISAF ice type product. However, the total estimated ice area is underestimated due to unclassified coastal regions where mixed land/sea pixels confuse the applied ice type algorithm. The shown sea ice extent values are therefore recommended be used qualitatively in relation to ice extent values from other years shown in the figure."...

2007 Al Gore multi-trillion dollar CO2 scare claims: 

5/13/13, "Wrong: Al Gore Predicted Arctic Summer Ice Could Disappear In 2013," CNS News, Barbara Hollingsworth

"A 2007 prediction that summer in the North Pole could be “ice-free by 2013” that was cited by former Vice President Al Gore in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech has proven to be off…by 920,000 square miles.


In his Dec. 10, 2007 “Earth has a fever” speech, Gore referred to a prediction by U.S. climate scientist Wieslaw Maslowski that the Arctic’s summer ice could “completely disappear” by 2013 due to global warming caused by carbon emissions.

Gore said that on Sept. 21, 2007, "scientists reported with unprecedented alarm that the North Polar icecap is, in their words, 'falling off a cliff.' One study estimated that it could be completely gone during summer in less than 22 years. Another new study to be presented by U.S. Navy researchers later this week warns that it could happen in as little as seven years, seven years from now.""...
