Arctic And Greenland Ice Melting At Shocking Speed
Thursday, 3. September 2009, 19:51:41
Arctic and Greenland ice is often in the news. With good reason. Some years from now on it may be history, as the ice is melting extremely fast. The news brought by redOrbit on 2 and 3 September 2009 was bad news.
On 2 September: “Arctic sea ice thickness down 53 percent”.
U.S. scientists using satellite data and records from cold war submarine missions have found Arctic Ocean ice thickness has declined 53 percent since 1980.
On 3 September: “Greenland Glaciers Melting At Shocking Speed”.
Can it be repeated too often - or often enough - that the fate of the world’s ice sheets remains one of the biggest concerns in the field of climate prediction?
