"Arctic sea ice" Ice caps are land ice. Ice cap - Wikipedia In glaciology, an ice cap is a mass of ice that covers less than 50,000 km2 (19,000 sq mi) of land area (usually covering a highland area). Larger ice masses covering more than 50,000 km2 (19,000 sq mi) are termed ice sheets. [1] [2] [3]

Longz, even Snopes struggled to cover for Algore's misprediction ... ***** What's True In the late 2000s, Al Gore made a series of high-profile statements suggesting the possibility that Arctic sea ice could be completely gone during the summer by around 2013 or 2014. What's False Gore did not himself make these predictions but said (in some cases erroneously) that others had, and he never referred to a year-long lack of ice for both poles but instead largely referenced Arctic sea ice in the summer. ***** That's one of the oldest weasel tricks in the book. "I didn't make those predictions. Someone else did. I'm just reporting on what that person said." By repeating what someone else said, it is implied that you agree and endorse what that person said, and that you yourself believe in the predictions that are being made. The right thing to do, once those predictions turn out to be bogus, is to take responsibility, explain why you believed it at the time and what has changed since then, and revise what you believe in. The chickenshit thing to do, of course, is to claim you never made those predictions in the first place. Tenchusatsu
