Regardless of these unfounded claims and many others from alarmists, the Arctic, Antarctic and Greenland continue to play havoc with alarmist theories. Alarmist predictions have yet to even come anywhere close to happening.

The melting of sea ice in the Arctic has slowed dramatically in the past 20 years, with no statistically significant decline in its extent since 2005. (3)

Increased ocean primary productivity in the Arctic generated by reduced summer sea ice continued into 2025. This means Arctic seals and whales, walrus, and polar bears will continue to flourish.

Susan Crockford says, “Don’t look for that take-home in the legacy media, since they will all focus on any information that feeds a doom-mongering narrative.” September 2025 sea ice extent continued to stall, rather than plummet as predicted: eleventh lowest average September extent since 1979, although they don’t come out and say so.

Arctic sea ice melting in the summer of 2023 was remarkably less than expected when considering the strong heat........
