Icebergs
Just as I heard on this mornings news about a massive iceberg that has broken free from the Antarctic ice shelf I saw this report about the decline in sea ice in the Canadian Arctic. For more details about the Antarctic problem please take a look at these pictures
The Arctic could be ice-free in just three years – Sea ice in Canada’s fragile Arctic is melting faster than anyone expected, the lead investigator in Canada’s largest climate-change study yet said Friday — raising the possibility that the Arctic could, in a worst-case scenario, be ice-free in about three years. Professor David Barber, the lead investigator of the Circumpolar Flaw Lead System Study, said the rapid decay of thick Arctic Sea ice highlights the rapid pace of climate change in the North and foreshadows what will come in the South.
