Climate does that, century in, century out.
Will be waiting with baited breath to see if this is the year Arctic Ice coverage exceeds the "satellite era" (blink of eye geologically speaking) low of Sept 2012. If it does, we'll surely hear all about it.
If it doesn't even get close, well there's always next year, or next decade or next 50 years to hype it when it does.
Remember when ice free Arctic was claimed FOR SURE by summers 2013, 2014, 2015? Well, now it's pushed out to 2030 or something. One of these years. Even the 2012 low was far from "ice free" that summer.
And when 2030 comes and goes without even close to ice free, will they just add another future date, and expect everyone to believe their hyped claims of doom? Some day people will wake up to the wild claims of rapid sea level rise the next 10, 20, 30 years.
What happened to all the claims of such the last 10, 20, 30 years for today? 2020 was supposed to be a key target year for 3 feet of sea level rise back in 1990. Not even close, by any stretch. Barely even 3 inches globally those 30 years since, many areas much less.
