Despite a BBC report warning that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013, this year’s minimum Arctic sea ice extent was actually 26% larger than 2012.
On X, climate realist Tony Heller has highlighted the climate misinformation and disinformation campaigns that far-left corporate media have been waging on the global public.
Of course the latest revelation did not make the headlines anywhere because it doesn’t fit the official narrative.
Zero Hedge reports: Heller referenced a 2007 BBC News article titled “Arctic summers ice-free ‘by 2013’,” which warned readers of the supposed threat that “latest modeling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years.”
The BBC article’s baseless claim was designed to instill climate fears across the public to ram through a radical de-growth climate agenda across the Western world.
Heller then cited NOAA Sea Ice Extent data of the Arctic from Sept. 16, 2012, and Sept. 7, 2024, and found:
“This year’s minimum Arctic sea ice extent was 26% larger than 2012. @BBCNews said the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013.”
