On this past Monday, yet another harbinger of Climate Change was announced. According to scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, Arctic ice has a chance to reach record lows by the end of this melting season. The Chukchi Sea, just northwest of Alaska, and the East Siberian Seas, just east of Russia, seem to be the areas most damaged by this current ice-retreat.
On 25 August 2008, the National Snow and Ice Data Center, based at the University of Colorado, announced findings that Artic ice has reached an all time low,... previously set in 2005. Their scientists have stated that the mass of Arctic ice has fell below 2 million square miles,... and,... unlike 2005, the melting doesn't seem to be haulting for the end of summer.
As the Arctic ice continues to vanish,... polar bear habitats/populations diminish, heat-absorbing seawater is exposed, water levels change too drastically, and every part of Earth is affected.
Sadly, many scientists studying Climate Change foresee an Arctic with no summer ice,... by 2030!!!
