Reference: Arctic ice at all-time low, Bangkok Post, September 10, 2007

There is a computer model of the world's climate that was put together by IPCC climate scientists. It is used to predict the effect of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels on the planet's climate. This model predicted, that if CO2 from greenhouse gases were causing the earth to become warmer, then the Arctic Ocean would be free of ice by 2070. However, the data now show that the melting of Arctic ice is much faster and that if current trends continue, the Arctic will be free of ice in 2030, forty years sooner than the time predicted by the greenhouse gas theory of global warming. These data are being presented as evidence that the IPCC greenhouse gas model is correct, in fact, even more correct that previously thought. However, an objective evaluation of the same data will show that the IPCC climate model is NOT correct. Had the IPCC been correct that the melting of Arctic ice is caused by the use of fossil fuels, Arctic ice would have persisted until 2070. Since it is now acknowledged by climate scientists that the ice will be gone by 2030, we can only conclude that the melting of Arctic ice is not caused by fossil fuels but by something else that works faster than fossil fuels.
