..."Arctic sea ice is melting so fast most of it could be gone in 30 years. A new analysis of changing conditions in the region, using complex computer models of weather and climate, says conditions that had been forecast by the end of the century could occur much sooner."
That's certainly a disturbing thought, but the New York Times magazine had a cover story this past weekend on an 85-year-old physicist named Freeman Dyson. Apparently, he's a brilliant scientist who's a bit of a skeptic on global warming. You can still find it online and it's a really interesting piece. But one of his quotes stuck out in my mind when I was reading this article on Yahoo:
“Most of the time in history the Arctic has been free of ice,” Dyson said. So maybe the first paragraph of that AP story is misleading. Anyway, if you have the time you should take a look at that article in the NYT magazine.
