Do you have a source for that? The predictions I remember are much longer.

Kaczynski-style anti-industrialism doesn't make for good discourse, but neither does Benthamite rah-rah-ism. Our increased material comfort comes at the price of a techno-panopticon and toxic consumerism, or as one astute observer described it, a 'boring dystopia'.
Edit: nevermind, it was actually just 10 years ago that Antarctica was supposed to be entirely ice-free in the summer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsioIw4bvzI
I'm sure today's models and predictions are 100% accurate and undeniable, though. "Bruh."
If you look at the trend line between 1995 and 2010 in the NASA data this was a reasonable prediction. The Northwest passage is now open for the first time in recorded history, things are melting fast.

Last I checked it wasn't 2030 yet.
NASA has a nice* video of the North polar ice cap. https://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/155/video-annual-...
* It's okay, the graph doesn't have a zero-indexed base which it should.
Edit: Also Antarctica is the South ice cap, not the North, which is the video clip you linked.
