No, the reality is simply more dramatic than predicted. The data doesn't support the kind of qualitative reasoning being used here. Environmentalists aren't lamenting global warming because they think arctic sea ice and glaciers are good, it's because they think change is bad.

Change isn't bad, not on its own, and it should not be feared.

All this really means is that our collective ability to predict the future is for shit.
