In 2018, Sweden sent a scientific expedition going to the North Pole by using the icebreaker Oden. This they finally managed, but here is a note from the boat, called "Veckobrev från Isbrytaren Oden 2018-08-10" ("Weekly letter from the icebreaker Oden 2018-08-10"):

"... .. It is important for this research expedition that we come as far north as possible so as to measure on the masses of air that originate from the pack ice to the greatest possible extent. Other research projects are constantly ongoing such as ice cores, CTD, weather balloons. The ice that is about 90-100% concentrated, is thick and compact, this in my highest non-scientific perspective as a navigator, but I have been up here before and not seen these conditions since 2005. Life in the ship floats on without problems. The animal life is sparse.

Navigation

As I mentioned in the text above, it has been very compact ice, I have not seen similar conditions since 2005. 2016, which was the last time when Oden was so far north it went in about 5 days from the ice edge to this latitude with average speed 6 knots. It has taken considerably longer this time and with an average speed of about 3 knots. We are about 45 Nm (83km) from the North Pole at the time of writing. When the ice offers this resistance you will be happy as an ice navigator, as it has constantly been gloomy news about "extremely small ice distribution in the Arctic" "Ice-free in the North Polar Sea" "polar bears drown" "shipping companies planning routes across the North Pole". Yes, it is no polar bears that drown here. It may even be that it can be difficult to bring down the paws in the water. We are too high up on the globe for there to be good satellite images to take advantage of, so what is in our help now is the helicopter. We do not drive blindly and if we run out of our helicopter recon, we would rather stop if the weather does not allow flight. The fact that you stop then depends on whether we actually do not see if we are going into an area with extremely difficult ice that can make it difficult for us to continue, turn or even get stuck. I had not hesitated during previous expeditions to continue without a helicopter recon, but in the prevailing ice conditions it is unwise. In fact, we use Odin's all resources and systems to carry us out. The weather has been what you can expect from the summer in the Arctic, around 1-0 ° C in the air and about -1 ° C in the water, the visibility varies between poor to really bad and on some occasions really nice. We must take care to fly the road as soon as possible, so we always know where we are going. "

Rapporten beskæftiger sig ikke med, hvor meget af den globale opvarmning der er menneskeskabt. Den siger kun, at vi mennesker med 99,99 % sikkerhed bidrager til opvarmningen.

Mens det nye studie meget tydeligt angiver, at mennesket med 99,99 procents sikkerhed har ansvar for den globale opvarmning, beskæftiger det sig ikke med, præcist hvor meget af den globale opvarmning er menneskeskabt. Sebastian Mernild påpeger dog, at resultater fra FNs klimapanel IPCC tidligere har vist, at mindst 50 procent, og formentlig mere, af de seneste 50 års opvarmning er menneskeskabt. IPCC arbejder også med sandsynligheder og kan eksempelvis sige, at det er mere sandsynligt, at mennesker har stået for 80 end for 20 procent af opvarmningen.
