Yale University, USGS' Hydrate Division and for all I know most of humanity may be so scared of this being Out Of Our Hands, that their logic starts falling apart. We recently saw this in one of Peter Sinclair's "This Is Not Cool" videos, where prominent scientists reminded us that the situation was Still Under Control and of course, Still In Our Hands. So what about the scientific discoveries that indicate Climate Collapse is now Out Of Our Hands? What happens to the scientific process when we throw the baby out with the bathwater, claiming babies cannot be in that water, because they would get wet?

Realtime Collapse: Projections point to likely Crash of sea ice in Antarctica by 12, 14 or 21 Jan 2024.
Recent melt compared to 2010s decadal avg over past 15 days, eg 50% higher melt, then projected on rest of Melt Season.
On staying clear of assumptions & political agendas
We need to be clear about accuracy & uncertainty. Myself, I’ve thrown most, if not all, assumptions out the window on this. Most everyone you heard about has an agenda, which is why you even heard about them… Or they are being used by people with one.
In this plot assumptions are cut to the bone: I still assume Earth revolves around the Sun, so that Melt Season works much the same way as in the past decade.
So I use the 10-year average of 2010-19 as the basis to project upon. For instance, we now have within the past 2-3 weeks a 10-day period that melted 50% faster than that same 10-day period in the 2010s: What would happen if that currently observed melt intensity lingered at 150% of the 2010s level, for the duration of the Melt Season?
At the same time, however, I add to the Uncertainty Interval, the coloured area in the plot, all of the periods it didn’t melt that fast, which is why you get 2-3 million km² sea ice as the very least dramatic estimate.
Summary: So all I’m doing is to say, OK it’s melting this fast now, what happens if that would last? And I also have a 25-day period graphed, which is much less likely to be as extreme as the 10-day.

A #COP25 holiday message for Greta T, but just as much for Peter Miller, Kevin Hester and other die–hard Global Dimming alarmists. This final episode of Talking South takes on the so–called McPherson paradox, based on Guy McPherson’s Global Dimming “damned if we do, damned if we don’t” aerosol reduction narrative.
