Do you think it was the fumes?
ABC News Sep. 27, 2005 - This season has ushered in the warmest Arctic summer in 400 years.
A NASA report to be released this week finds the polar ice pack has shrunk by nearly 30 percent since 1978, and new satellite photos show the melting is speeding up.
Scientists say the Arctic may be caught in a vicious cycle of global warming. As ice melts, there's less white matter to reflect the sun's heat back into space. The dark ocean absorbs more of the sun's heat and that, in turn, melts more of the ice pack.
Typically in the Arctic, any ground deeper than about four feet has always been frozen. But the permafrost is now starting to melt.
Whole villages are tumbling into the ocean, forcing people to relocate -- as well as many animals.
"Yesterday, it's the Arctic, and now suddenly, it's turning into the sub-Arctic!" said biologist George Divoky.
As the sea ice disappears, many polar bears are starving because they must have sea ice on which to hunt.
Yes!!!!!! Another record-breaking summer is on the way!!!!
