Okay, a couple of quick points. The ABC article's headline referenced the Arctic ice volume, not acreage. The Sat photos record acreage. The volume has apparently reached an all-time low. You are right, however, to criticize the copy editor as the word "apparently" should have been in the head and not just the sub-head.
The ice is melting rapidly because of solar gain. Ice is much more reflective than water. Water therefore absorbs more energy from the sun and speeds the melting of the ice. I wonder when we are going to see some honest attempts at dealing with the solar gain. For years we've been reading about various methods from deploying solar shields in space to seeding clouds. One would think they'd try SOMETHING before the Arctic ice disappears completely. |
