That is misrepresenting what the article says. It doesn't say anything about beaches being underwater. It reports one prediction from one expert that the Arctic would be ice free within 4 years.

This prediction was too pessimistic, but I'm not sure what general point you are trying to make by cherry-picking one article from 14 years ago. Care to expand?

They're trying to downplay or deny climate change, without actually taking a contradicting position, because they know that will actually get downvoted to dead.

It's cowardly and intended to further the denial position.
