Notice at the end they mention Texas. Alot of hot air comes from there...coincidence?

Meltdown: Ice Cracks at North Pole


Satellite images of the Arctic show large openings in the perennial ice cover, yet another consequence of greenhouse warming, scientists announced this week.

The Arctic's thick perennial sea ice typically survives the warmth of the summer and lasts through the year. But satellite images taken in late August show that up to 10 percent of the perennial sea ice has been fractured by summer storms. The surprising change involves an area larger than the size of the British Isles.

Goldilocks and the Greenhouse What makes Earth habitable? This LiveScience original video explores the science of global warming and explains how, for now, conditions here are just right.


The striking openings in the pack ice were found north of Svalbard, Norway and extend to the Russian Arctic all the way to the North Pole. This condition is likely due to the thinning and extra mobility in the European section of the central Arctic ice pack seen in recent years.


"This situation is unlike anything observed in previous record low ice seasons," said Mark Drinkwater of the European Space Agency's Oceans/Ice Unit. "It is highly imaginable that a ship could have passed from Spitzbergen or Northern Siberia through what is normally pack ice to reach the North Pole without difficulty."


The minimum ice extent—the lowest amount of ice recorded in the area annually—has shrunk from 3 million square miles in the early 1980's to less than 2 million square miles in 2005. A recent study showed that between 2004 and 2005, the ice shrunk by 14 percent, a decrease in area the size of Texas....

The north pole was no land mass correct? if the ice melts then the water level stays constant

Some of that ice is above the water dude!!! ABOVE the water!!

Haven't you ever wondered what happened to all of those famous Lebanon cedar trees? I bet Noah used 'em all.

Its easier to pretend it won't happen.

No shiite. Ice floats with 10% above... Same as a drinking glass filled to the rim with water containing ice... the ice above the glass rim, when viewed from the side, will melt yet the glass will not then overflow... dude.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Noah was a drunk and everyone laughed at HIM. I'm gonna start sawing down trees tomorrow.

later aqua... I gotta crash.

Oh brother. Please for the love of god go take a science class. :)
Or at the very least re-read sukie's posts here.

This is a great electoral strategy, the libs are concentrated on the 2 coasts... sure we may have to move the capitol to Kansas City but imagine... the 2 party system of Republicans and Libertarians LOL.

aquaman,fill a glass full of ice then top it off with water if it overflows when
the ice melts I will give you 10,000 chips.

better yet look up water displacement.

I'll give 150,000 chips.
It can't overflow.

Do I have to be at the equator for the water to stay in the glass?

Yes you may, on anyone but me...

Scoff if you will. It is FACT, ice weighs more at the poles than at the equator.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

[sukie]

Weight means nothing... Molecularly they are the same except ther melting rate... FACT.

[uppy]

Your kitchen table will do...lol

most people don't understand water displacement...I don't know why

What about Thor's melting rate?

I'm breathless, finish...please...

I love Norse mythology: Thor, Valhalla, Frig...

They weigh less...so, no.
