North Pole could be ice-free this summer, scientists say

Posted by Matt in June 27th, 2008

The North Pole may be briefly ice-free by September as global warming melts away Arctic sea ice, according to scientists from the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado.

	Melting Arctic Sea Ice Sea ice is frozen seawater floating on the surface of the ocean. Some sea ice is semi-permanent, persisting from year to year, and some is seasonal, melting and refreezing from season to season. The sea ice cover reaches its minimum extent at the end of each summer and the remaining ice is called the perennial ice cover. The 2007 Arctic summer sea ice has reached the lowest extent of perennial ice cover on record - nearly 25% less than the previous low set in 2005. Check out http://www.desmogblog.com for more.

	Arctic race - spoof video Here's an entirely fictional little video about what's going on in the Arctic. Sign the petition to help out in real life... http://www.greenpeace.org/handsoffthearctic We got the idea for this video after Russia planted a flag deep under the ocean ice as part of their bid to control vast areas of the Arctic. As if this wasn't silly enough, some news programmes mistakenly included footage from the movie Titanic in their reports! (The submarine used by Russia had also been in the movie.) But the story behind the story is real. Global warming is melting the Arctic at an alarming rate. This summer the Arctic ice cover was the smallest ever recorded. As a result, there really is a race on to grab up the oil, gas and other resources once protected by ice. But the more oil and gas we...

	Arctic sea ice melt A stunning animation from WWF International Polar Programme, showing the progressive melting of Artice sea ice since 1979. The white is older ice - five years or more old - and the blues are progressively younger ice, with the shade closest to the ocean being fresh, or one year old, ice. The red dots are tracking buoys, showing how the ice is shifting further and faster as it melts. Tags: Arctic, bears, change, climate, global, Greens, ice, polar, warming, WWF

If the pattern continues, warming effects could reach up to at least 900 miles inland, melting permafrost, in turn increasing more melting. These are more signs!
