Perhaps you are thinking of a different Richard Muller than this one, who around 2011 was spewing just about every climate myth under the Sun? And being extremely offensive about various climate scientists too.

Preferring the opinion of a random non-expert over professional Met Offices and independent data analyses does your 'skepticism' no favours. Marohasey is totally wrong.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings but the IPCC doesn't agree with you about much. Can you show me where the IPCC actually supports your views, rather than cherry-picking snippets out of context, such as claiming the existence of a global warming (ocean, atmosphere, cryosphere) "pause" while ignoring repeated references to both continued ocean heat content rise (>90% of GW) and short-term heat exchange oscillations like ENSO (why IPCC warning against using short-term surface temperature trends).

And there was me thinking you all though the ice was supposed to be gone in 2013 Even assuming you meant 2016:

Well, your sources:
Goddard (seriously, he's too cranky even for WUWT), and you believe him? Where is your skepticism? Do you believe everything on the Internet?
A BBC news article (great science source, that...) about Maslowski's 2016 +/-3 prediction I referenced earlier. The earliest published prediction of a sensible scientist, but much earlier than most cryosphere specialists expect. On what planet is a 2016 +/-3 prediction falsified by 2014?. If in 2020, Maslowski is shown to be wrong, does that invalidate the rest of the cryosphere science community forecasting closer to mid-century?
And on what planet is Al Gore a cryosphere scientist?

I asked you for a scientific source which suggested that climate scientists in general were forecasting ice-free conditions by 2014. IPCC would do! Not a news article about the bottom error bar of the single most pessimistic projection... Where is your skepticism of the junk you're reading? I'm trying to help you here!
