Arctic sea ice extent in 2024 is 26% larger than in 2012 data shows

Recent data shows that Arctic sea ice extent in 2024 is 26% larger than in 2012. This contrasts with earlier predictions, such as a 2007 BBC article that claimed the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013. Tony Heller, a climate realist, highlighted this data on social media, criticizing media narratives about climate change. He referenced NOAA data to support his claims about the current state of Arctic ice. Heller's comments suggest that certain information is not widely reported because it does not align with prevailing narratives about climate change.
