Explain This Away, Skeptics: Arctic Ice Melting Faster Than We Feared

The conservation group WWF has found that arctic ice is melting even faster than previously thought. The recent acceleration of melting in the Greenland Ice Sheet wasn’t accurately predicted by experts, who are now shocked at the gravity of the situation.

From Reuters:

The Greenland Ice Sheet — with an ice volume of about 2.9 million cubic kilometers — is shrinking at a fast pace and “could contribute much more than previously estimated to global sea-level rise during the 21st century,” the WWF said.

It also said that Arctic warming has reduced both the area and thickness of the northern region’s multi-year sea ice, making it more prone to summer thaw.

Many climate change scientists have inadequately considered the drivers of such trends, such as interactions between sea ice thickness and water temperature, according to WWF.

What this means to us is simple: further heating of the Earth. The WWF has said that climate change in the arctic is already dramatically affecting ecology in the region and has called on arctic nations such as Russia, Norway and Canada to start working together for real change.

This is bad, bad news. But before we get all serious and mull over the weight of this situation and what it means for our planet’s future, I just want to say BAM! IN YOUR FACE, GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTICS!
