The authors used very long
control runs of both the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) and Hadley Centre climate models (5,000 years for the GFDL model) to assess the probability that the observed and model - predicted trends in Arctic
sea ice extent occur by chance as the result of natural climate variability.
