Late summer Arctic sea ice extent has remained steady for almost 2 decades.
In the late 2000s, experts and climate bedwetters, like Al Gore – warned the late summer Arctic sea ice would disappear already by 2015.
That prediction has yet to even come anywhere near close to happening.
According to the US National Snow and Ice data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder, the Arctic sea ice melt this year has long reached its low point, falling to 4.602 million square kilometers on September 10th:

Compared to the record low of 3.387 million square kilometers that occurred 13 years ago, 2012, this year’s value is more than 1.2 million square kilometers greater, and nearly half a million square kilometers more than 2007 (4.155 million square kilometers.).
Overall, Arctic lat summer sea ice trend has been flat for nearly 2 decades, defying the global warming trend prediction that it would melt to almost nothing by now. The alarmists have been completely wrong.

[…] “2025 Arctic sea ice minimum nearly half a million square kilometers more than 2007” – Arctic summer sea ice has barely budged in nearly 20 years, defying doom predictions; this year it’s up nearly half a million sq km on 2007, writes P. Gosselin on NoTricksZone. […]
you have shown a 1972 -1990 artic ice graph showing much less ice in ’72 than the so-called alarmist “standard” of 1979. From where did you get that graph? It says IPCC 1990 but I don’t find it there. Using ’79 as a standard certainly is cherry-picking.
It looks to have reached minimum a little earlier than in previous years.
Good catch.
