Hi Dave,
The more I read the more concerned I become. I was viewing NASA's TV network
and they had films of the arctic sea over 3 decades. It is visibly clear
that the polar cap has been shrinking.
Unfortunately the time snap shot is short which makes it easy to say it
might be part of a natural cycle and that it has done so before. Still, if it
melts, the ice which, it is argued, acts as solar reflector, will become a sea
which will absorb more sunlight.
Another point that has some scientists more concerned than global warming is
ocean acidification due to CO2 absorption. Seems we might be headed for a
double wammy. Meanwhile it appears to be business as usual.
Best,
Joe
