Arctic sea ice set to hit a new low record…
Sea ice measurements made in the Arctic by the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) showed the extent of sea ice on the 8th of August 2007 was almost 30% below (5.8 million square kilometers (2.24 million square miles)) the long-term monthly August average of 7.7 million square kilometers (2.97 million square miles).
“…At this point in the 2007 melt season, this much is already clear: the Arctic is experiencing an unprecedented sixth consecutive year with much less sea ice than normal, and it looks like this year’s sea ice melt season may herald a new and steeper rate of decline…” Read further info & analyze sea ice graphs under NSIDC’s official site – GO >>
Could one then believe ice-free summers will exist in the Arctic by 2040? Probably!
