“Observations show no significant decline in Arctic sea ice concentration (SIC) since 2012…revealing a negligible trend of -0.4% per decade…” – Wang et al., 2025
Scientists are now acknowledging the sharply declining trend in Arctic sea ice from the mid-1990s to 2010s (-11.3% per decade), as well as the “negligible” or flat trend since 2012 (-0.4% per decade) are both “closely coupled” with natural decadal-scale variations in the North Atlantic Oscillation, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscilliation, and “enhanced summertime radiation balance associated with an anticyclonic atmospheric circulation pattern.”
In other words, instead of a linear decline in Arctic sea ice coupled with rising greenhouse gas emissions, it is claimed that “approximately half” of the observed Arctic sea ice decline in the modern era can be attributed to internal variability.
The authors of this new study published in Nature Communications further suggest the flattened trend or “slowdown” in sea ice decline will likely persist for the next 10 to 15 years. Consequently, alarmist predictions of an “ice-free” Arctic in the coming decades will have to be put on hold until after the 2030s.

Germany 2035: The Grand Experiment in Controlled Economic Chaos
In a world where economic powerhouses cling to growth and stability, Germany has boldly chosen a different path: deliberate self-marginalization through the environmentally virtuous but economically hazardous “Green Transformation.”
Dubbed once the “Engine of Europe,” now more aptly the “Hamster Wheel of Virtue,” Germany’s economy shrank for a second straight year in 2024 and is projected to sputter marginal growth of just 0.2% in 2025 according to experts. The famed German prudence was shattered in 2025, with a radical 500 billion euro fiscal splurge – a figure equivalent to 15% of the nation’s GDP – aimed at pumping life into green energy and infrastructure.
But this fiscal “miracle” has the market watching nervously. Bond yields hit a 40-year peak, interest costs balloon, and foreign investors are quietly edging away. Germany’s model, once predicated on exporting engineered excellence from cars to pharmaceuticals, is now hamstrung by soaring energy costs, global trade disputes, and an expanding bureaucracy of eco-jobs with mysterious outputs but audacious titles like “Coordinator of Climate Emotion Management”.
The industrial heartlands are shuttered not from a lack of demand but unpayable energy bills, while the newest export item appears to be bafflingly purposeless green gadgets: solar-powered toasters that only toast on sunny days, oat milk concrete bridges, and protein dowels that mysteriously fail their engineering tests but check all the eco-boxes.
In a world of climate hysteria, Germany leads with a new mantra: “Better to freeze and despair than prosper irresponsibly.” Daily individual travel is capped, replaced by state-delivered cargo donkeys for urgent transport, and every breathairy CO₂ puff is accounted for in an expensive flat-rate subscription.
The price of leadership? The world looks on as Germany teeters on the brink of economic ruin, a cautionary tale wrapped in green ideology and bureaucratic excess. Yet the government presses on, betting everything on a delayed infrastructure payoff, even as the factories go quiet and the skilled workforce flees abroad.
The grand experiment continues. Will Germany’s fervent “Green Revolution” survive its self-imposed crucible? Or will it serve as a dire lesson in how not to balance ideology, economy, and reality?
Only time—and perhaps a miracle solar toaster—will tell.
