>>"In 2009 scientists predicted an ice free north pole by the summer of 2013. "
NO they did not. In an Aug. 31, 2009, op-ed in the Huffington Post, somebody did write that, but that was a politician.

Exactly MrO, usual wrongly reported news they get in the States and think it's true. Fortunately we seem to get our facts checked a lot more here, same in UK -and I imagine the Netherlands too, apart from the tabloids of course, and Facebook, twitter and other US based sites that really don't seem to bother about truths. Maybe if they did they wouldn't have elected Trump in the first place

What's not in doubt is that it's melting at an alarming rate.

It's only melting at an alarming rate in spring and maybe summer too. But what you don't get told is that in fall and winter there is more snow and ice than in the past. Also the ice cap in Antarctica is not melting, it's getting bigger.

MrO, thanks for catching that. It is the politicians making the exaggerated claims for global warming, not the scientists.
