Loss of Reflectivity in the Arctic Doubles Estimate of Climate Models
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/01/110118123519.ht...
A new analysis of the Northern Hemisphere's "albedo feedback" over a 30-year period concludes that the region's loss of reflectivity due to snow and sea ice decline is more than double what state-of-the-art climate models estimate.The findings are important, researchers say, because they suggest that Arctic warming amplified by the loss of reflectivity could be even more significant than previously thought.

New Study Shows The Arctic Is Melting Even Faster!

Back when I first started this site people said that the Arctic Ice melting was impossible. Even the "bold" predictions that it would be gone by 2050 were dismissed by the skeptics of Global Warming. Here we are only two years later, and we are arguing about who has the rights to the shipping passages that have opened up for the first time in modern history.

When do you think the Bush administration will start taking this seriously? Very disheartening to see such a stubborn, ignorant man leading our country in so many wrong directions...
