Last I heard they were supposed to be gone by the year 2000.
Edit: nevermind, it was actually just 10 years ago that Antarctica was supposed to be entirely ice-free in the summer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsioIw4bvzI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsioIw4bvzI
I'm sure today's models and predictions are 100% accurate and undeniable, though. "Bruh."
- sn0wf1re 3y ago> 75% chance that within 5 to 7 years there could be a period of no ice cap [paraphrasing] If you look at the trend line between 1995 and 2010 in the NASA data this was a reasonable prediction. The Northwest passage is now open for the first time in recorded history, things are melting fast. > ...Bob used the figure of 2030... Last I checked it wasn't 2030 yet. NASA has a nice* video of the North polar ice cap. https://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/155/video-annual-arctic-sea-ice-minimum-1979-2022-with-area-graph/ https://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/155/video-annual-... * It's okay, the graph doesn't have a zero-indexed base which it should. Edit: Also Antarctica is the South ice cap, not the North, which is the video clip you linked.
