'Loss of Arctic ice leaves experts stunned'

Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2007 1:34 pm    Post subject: 'Loss of Arctic ice leaves experts stunned'


Just to say I have added another link to ‘can we save the polar bear…’ which is perhaps the hardest hitting, should anyone need further convincing.

Its an article from Tuesday’s Guardian Unlimited called 'Loss of Arctic ice leaves experts stunned'.

It says such things as

'Experts say they are "stunned" by the loss of ice, with an area almost twice as big as the UK disappearing in the last week alone.'

'The Arctic has now lost about a third of its ice since satellite measurements began thirty years ago, and the rate of loss has accelerated sharply since 2002.'


and

'If the increased rate of melting continues, the summertime Arctic could be totally free of ice by 2030.'
