Read here and here. This type of failed prediction story is becoming old news, almost passe. As with almost every single prediction made by the IPCC and climate alarmist scientists, the prediction about Arctic warming killing off species has been empirically proven to be utter rubbish. What a freaking surprise. One little piece of advice to the unwary: don't believe anything a climate alarmist claims.
“The Arctic Species Trend Index (ASTI), like the global Living Planet Index (LPI), illustrates overall vertebrate population trends by integrating vertebrate population trend data of an appropriate standard from across the Arctic and over the last 34 years (1970 as the baseline). A total of 965 populations of 306 species (representing 35% of all known arctic vertebrate species) were used to generate the ASTI … the average population of arctic species rose by 16% between 1970 and 2004."
“Co-author Christoph Zöckler from the UNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre says: “The establishment of these results comes at a crucial time for finding accurate indicators to monitor global biodiversity as governments strive to meet their targets of reducing biodiversity loss.” Since the results show no biodiversity loss, it seems that governments are meeting their targets."
