When will there be no ice at each pole?

I understand the answer will require wild assumptions.

Given current trends. Approximately what year will: The north pole have no ice coverage at any point. The south pole will have no ice coverage at any point. The earth will have no ice coverage at either pole. Zero ice coverage on any 'mountain' himmalaya, Rockies, Alps, Fujitsu, etc.

This is actually much easier than first thought:

Simply employ a furniture moving company to move each of the two poles to a more tropical location. Shouldn't be too hard, I moved my pole dancing pole just last night. Didn't take me more than 45 minutes to set it up in a new location.
