Sen. Kerry Predicts ‘Ice-Free Arctic' In '5 or 10 Years’ Friday, July 23, 2010 By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer
(CNSNews.com) – Speaking at a town hall-style meeting promoting climate change legislation on Thursday, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) predicted there will be “an ice-free Arctic” in five to 10 years..
“The arctic ice is disappearing faster than was predicted,” Kerry said. “And instead of waiting until 2030 or whenever it was to have an ice-free Arctic, we’re going to have one in five or 10 years.”
However, the Web site of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says: “Using the observed 2007/2008 summer sea ice extents as a starting point, computer models predict that the Arctic could be nearly sea ice free in summertime within 30 years.”
NOAA cites as its source on Arctic sea ice a study published in the April 3, 2009 edition of Geophysical Research Letters by J.E. Overland and Muyin Wang. (Overland works for NOAA at the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and Wang is at the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean, University of Washington, in Seattle.)
In their study, Overland and Wang “predict an expected value for a nearly sea ice free Arctic in September by the year 2037.” They also note in their summary, however, that “a sea ice free Arctic in September may occur as early as the late 2020s” based on their analysis of six computer models.

He’s probably going after the Nobel Peace Prize.
Predicted by whom? The Vietcong or one of Kerry's CIA comrades from their days in Cambodia doing secret OPS?
The article quotes even the alarmist scientist as saying there is less than a 50% chance Kerry is correct.
We have people who have never been North of their Aunt Tilly’s back yard, all in a tizzy over whether the Arctic is ever ice free in the Summer.
And it means squat.
Yet the Arctic ice is thicker today than in 1980, 1990, or 2000.

I guess Al Gore is too busy getting “Chakra Releases” to beat the drum for global warming, and Kerry has taken over.
I am hoping for a “ass-free senate”
Lying a$$hole... the Arctic melt is slower and smaller than ever before... read it here on FR two days ago. YOU LIE lurch!
LLS
Me thinks Kerry wants to be the new Gore.
This clown is a senator because there is NOTHING in the real world that anyone would hire him for. Wanna make him have a heart attack? Ask him a question from a 6th grade science course.
Sen. Kerry Predicts ‘Ice-Free Arctic’ In ‘5 or 10 Years’
Translation: We need to pass Cap-N-Trade to save the Ice Cap.
He knows darn well the ice cap ain’t going anywhere but he and the rest of the control freaks can take credit for saving the ice cap in 10 years by saying that cap n trade saved the day.
I predict a Kerry-free Senate in less than that................
And no sales tax to boot. Reason one billion or so why socialism will fail, even its boosters hate it.
I am hoping for a Kerry free Senate in 5 to 10 years.
What an idiot...
Or whenever it was? Or whenever it was?
He can't even take time to familiarize himself with the left's own AGW propaganda and expects to be taken seriously?

“I predict a Kerry Free Senate in 5 to 10 years. Any bets my forecast is more accurate than Senator Kerry’s (who by the way served in Viet Nam)?”
Was he in Viet Nam? Win any medals?
