Global Warming To Leave North Pole Ice-Free

Posted by simoniker on from the penguins-mildly-irritated dept.

cwolfsheep writes "Tonight, Yahoo & AFP news are reporting on a study, further backing up a previous report, that suggests the North Pole will be ice-free in the summer by the next century. Oddly enough, they say the melting will not add to the sea-level of the ocean (since the ice is already in the ocean) and that the extra water will help absorb more greenhouse gases. Maybe we need to start using more aerosols."

    When will it be thawed? I really need to get down into the center of the Earth where Hitler has been hiding since WW2.

    NOw they won't be able to go outside in a 100 years or so and get fresh ice the way nature intended it. Maybe by that time no one will care since will we claim to be mother nature, or at least her creator.
