A famous climate scientist predicted that the Arctic would be ice-free in five years. Unfortunately for him, that was five years ago.
The Guardian published an article in August 2008 in which Professor Wieslaw Maslowski produced a forecast “which indicated that by 2013 there will be no ice in the Arctic, other than a few outcrops on islands near Greenland and Canada, between mid-July and mid-September.”
