Clickbait means misleading and sensationalized. That title seems like an apt description and not clickbait.


Are there betting markets for this sort of stuff? Because I'd like to bet that in ten years there will be summer sea ice.


Alright, I take my comment back. I checked in National Geographic. If we don’t make drastic changes, summer sea ice is projected to end after 2060 [1], although it is always possible that things spiral out of control in unexpected ways.

You could invest into transportation firms along traditional land/sea shipping routes, assuming the market has priced an expectation of the Northwest Passage opening up and ruining business into those firms' valuations.


I personally wouldn't say it is clickbait but it does appear to fall foul of other parts of the relevant HN guidelines:

Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.


Funny because to me it looks like deceitful manipulation to get people to click.
