The Arctic is likely to become “ice-free” by midcentury—and could pass that grim milestone much sooner unless much more is done to combat climate change

Well, good luck with that.

    Well I was asking you specifically since your comment made it seem like you didn’t think it could be possible. So I was just asking to see what what measure of “doomerism” in particular you followed cuz it all sounds pretty bad to me.

      My guess is that I’m the only person in this thread that reads the IPCC reports. “Maybe at the end of the century” is way different from “the next few years”.

      (PS: The IPCC also states that only half of the reduction of the ice is due to human emissions, so, don’t go buying property at sea level regardless of how well we do at stopping said emissions)
