While we have long range climate predictions that show a decline of snowpack by the end of the century and short - range rain and snow forecasts, until now there has been little information on what to expect in the next two months to two years.

Develop models and probabilistic forecasting tools to quantify uncertainties in the atmospheric drivers, surface characteristics, and soil properties that control the timing and extent of permafrost thaw in the next few decades and centuries.

The Polar Bearers used this information: The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (Hassol 2004: Chapter 6, Fig. 6.8, copied below) shows that 3 of the 5 models used to forecast the next century's September sea ice predicted that routine levels of 3.0 — 5.0 mkm2 would not happen until 2040 - 2070.

By comparing the global warming projection for the next century to natural climate changes of the distant past, and then looking into the future far beyond the usual scientific and political horizon of the year 2100, Archer reveals the hard truths of the long - term climate forecast.
