When, oh when does thin ice turn into deep doo-doo?
From Climate Progess:
The Washington Post has a must-read story on this today:
The BBC also has a great story. Be sure to check out the graph that shows how perennial sea ice has declined.The surprising drop in perennial ice makes the fast-changing region more unstable, because the thinner seasonal ice melts readily in summer….
Flying over the Arctic, one might perceive the sea ice cover as broad, Meier said, but that apparent breadth hides the fact that the ice is so thin. “It’s a facade, like a Hollywood set,” he said. “There’s no building behind it.”

Christ, that's the second time I've seen notebooks. Whore.
As for the ice, by the time this country is ready to respond it will be too late. Guess I shouldn't put off those swimming lessons any longer, yes?
I just bid farewell to "Notebooks". I'm getting a few more of these bot-type comments. I may have to go to the word verification thingy.
PiNY, I think we'll see spring break in Churchill, Manitoba before this country does much of anything. After all Churchill will need some new tourist draw after the polar bears are gone. (Co-eds Go Polar Bare?)
