Arctic Ice Melting 3x Faster Than Predictions

by Don Beck Wednesday, May. 09, 2007 at 3:56 PM

A study published in the current issue of Geophysical Research Letters reveals that "the actual rate at which summer sea ice had shrunk per decade during the past 50 years was more than three times faster than an average of 18 of the most highly regarded climate simulations."(1) This is another in a growing number of reports that are showing that the globe is warming at an accelerated pace, not in the gradual steady incline that was expected by the scientists.

What is worse is that most of the public actually feels no change, certainly not

as much as the doom and gloom reports are screaming about. The biggest

affect on most of us is a 50 % reduction in the Coral Reefs of the Cayman

Islands that we like to snorkel.

Most people don't understand that the climate has momentum, and because of

its gigantic mass (atmosphere and oceans) it will continue in the current direction

for many many decades even if we could stop emitting CO2 entirely right now.

The fact that most people feel no effects at this time makes it very easy for the

skeptics, who are being funded by the energy giants, to place doubt in everyone's

mind about the seriousness of global warming.

This is truly a disasterous situation for the future. The scientists are finding things

happening in the past 2 to 3 years that they didn't expect to happen for decades.

We should all be very concerned and demanding change to green energy, because

the climate will eventually reach a point when there will nothing we can do to stop

changes that will get very drastic........and it will be happening sooner than anyone

thought possible.
