Gore was not wrong.  Some sea ice specialists were saying that we might see a summer melt out that early.  As I said earlier, one of the leading researchers stated (IIRC) as early as 2016 +/- 3 years.  2016 - 3 = 2013.  

There's no way to predict the exact year we'll see the first melt-out.  There's a lot of year to year variation in terms of storm timing and intensity, cloud cover, etc.  The best scientists can do is to set a range of likely years.  2016 +/- three was a very aggressive prediction.  Others were predicting 2025 to 2035.  And a few sticking with the 'not for 100 years'. 

I've been watching the ice data closely for the last 10 (?) and as I said to some other people a few days ago, only a fool would bet that we won't see a melt out this year.

I am not predicting the ice will melt out this year.  I'm saying that it's looking very possible.  And that's what Gore was reporting that ice specialists were  saying back in 2007.
