Projected years of disappearance of Arctic Sea Ice

From 'wipneus' - their personal projections of when September ice will be 0m thick, based on the published data.

If the colours don't show up too well, it predicts an area with a narrow neck joining it to the ice that will hang on to Greenland for 2017, which might or might not cover the North Pole; by 2018, it predicts we'll be down to purely the coastal Greenland ice, with one 'mega-iceberg' floating forlornly in the central Arctic. In practice, I expect weather variations could shift the break-up a year either way.
