Arctic ice could vanish in 10 years, scientists warn

The absence of the ice caps would likely lead to rising ocean temperatures and release more of the greenhouse gas methane into the atmosphere, further accelerating global warming and rising sea levels.

so AGAIN they admit that their predictions are WRONG AND GARBAGE, but they expect people to accept their new predictions???

It'd never happen...

This^^^ Last month they told us we were going into a mini ice age...they don't have a clue...but gotta say something to stay funded I guess.

the ice might all disappear, the ice caps are only there during an ice age, like what we are in now.

ice ages don't last forever, which means that all that ice WILL MELT.

it is fantasy to think that we can stop the ice age from ending.

artic ice reflects up to 90 percent of sunlight hence heat back into space......

...when it melts the dark ocean absorbs that sunlight and retains the heat......

So the more the ice melts the more ocean surface exposed to absorb the heat.........it continues and accelerates in the process known as a positive feedback.

The loss of ice also allows for escaping methane hydrates to be exposed into the atmosphere.........which are very volatile greenhouse gases.........again the more methane that is released from the ocean/artic the more the atmosphere heats up and the more the ice melts and more ocean surface is exposed.................you get the idea by now............a series of positive feedbacks that increase global heating to the climate.

The question is how much of it is manmade fossil fuel burning and are we or will we reach a point where nothing can no longer be done to reverse the effect..........a runaway process..........

That is difficult to assess because there are so many factors involved with global climate......

But the best minds dedicated to trying to understand all this aren't too optimistic as to what has happened and what is going on now......

Quick everyone give all your money to Al gore ! He'll fix it!

mass extinction events happen like clockwork too. GG bro.

Data shows ice melting 50% faster than predicted by some polar scientists.

Arctic sea ice is melting at a pace so much faster than once thought that the latest projections say it might disappear by as soon as 2022, according to measurements from the European Space Agency.

European...wasn't it the European's that said the Himalayan glaciers would be gone in ten years...like ten years ago?!?!?

wouldn't that actually be a good thing?
