Greenland’s ice mass losses have dramatically decelerated since 2012. According to a new study (Nilsson and Gardner, 2026), from 1992-2023 the ice loss from Greenland ice sheet (GIS) and peripheral glaciers has added a total of only 1.1 cm (11 mm) to global sea levels. This is a sea level contribution rate equivalent of just […]

“The trend of September Arctic sea ice extent for the most recent two decades 2005-2024 is -0.35 and -0.29 million km² per decade according to the NSIDC and OSISAF sea ice indices respectively…these trends are not statistically significant from zero at a 95% confidence level.” − England et al., 2025 Despite several peer-reviewed, “overly alarmist” […]

For the last 3000 years the Beaufort Sea region has had “permanent sea ice.” According to a new study, there was “no sea ice” in the Arctic’s Beaufort Sea from 11,700 to 8200 years ago. During this period, summer sea surface temperatures (SSTs) averaged ~7°C, varying up to 9.6°C. “The Early Holocene (11.7−8.2 ka) is […]

“[S]ea ice loss did not lead to a reduction in BC [body condition] among adult BS [Barents Sea] bears. Rather, after around 2000…both males and females of different reproductive categories increased in body condition for the following two decades.” — Aars et al., 2026 Thick sea ice is not a necessary condition for polar bear […]

A large portion of the Greenland ice sheet that is today over 500 m thick did not exist during the Early to Mid Holocene. Prudhoe Dome (PD), a 2500 km² section of northwestern Greenland’s ice sheet (GIS), is today 500 to 600 m thick (Walcott-George et al., 2026). Approximately 6000-8000 years ago, or when atmospheric […]

Winter across Europe has been on the mild side so far – just as predicted by global warming alarmists. But now the weather is about to turn cold. A cold winter spell is beginning to settle over Europe and there’s a risk the public here might start having doubts about the global warming narrative – […]

Klima e Scienza reports on how the Greenland PETERMANN GLACIER has GROWN BY MORE THAN 30 KILOMETRES SINCE 2012, back when the MEDIA hysterically announced the glacier’s imminent disappearance. In 2012: In 2024: The media doesn’t talk about this anymore. Klima e Scienza credits the Association des Climato-Realistes. The reality defies the alarmist claims made […]

According to a new study, Greenland temperature stations indicate there was an abrupt 2.9°C warming trend from 1922-1932 (10 years) that was almost identical to the 3.1°C warming trend from 1993-2007 (14 years). Between the two warming periods (identified as WP1 and WP2 in the study) was an overall ~3°C cooling from 1933-1992. Thus, as […]

“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 […]

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 […]

Another year, another well-above-average (1981-2010 mean) snow and ice accumulation on the Greenland ice sheet (indicated by the blue vs. gray trend lines, right chart). The net mass gain (blue) again exceeded the net mass loss (red) during 2024-2025. Image Source: Polar Portal The Greenland Ice Sheet melt percentage and surface temperature have been […]

In 2007 Al Gore won a Nobel Peace prize for predicting summer (September) Arctic sea ice would “vanish” in the next 5 to 7 years, or by 2014. Since 2007 Arctic sea ice extent (SIE) losses have ceased. Instead, the SIE trend has been stable for nearly two decades (Stern, 2025). “Before 2007, September SIE […]
