Subject: The Rest Of The Story
This article is so full of holes and inaccuracies I could throw rocks through at 100 yards blind folded. For example, if most of the old ice has melted. Sea levels won't be effected if the rest should go. Why don't they mention that Northern Hemisphere global cooling began in mid August 2005 and accelerated in January 2007. There is a lag time from the warming that's carried over into the cooling. Sea Ice in the Bering Sea was the greatest and most persistent ever observed. Glaciers may take years to begin advancing or retreating in response to a cooling or warming trend. Also, if the old ice didn't melt off from time to time the Arctic ocean ice pack would extend to the sea floor. In addition, the percentages they give are flat out wrong. Theres is 12-15% old ice, not 6%. Come on NASA tell the whole story.
