Sea Ice May Be Melting Faster Than Previously Thought
- "Perennial sea ice - the floating ice that remains year round near the Arctic Circle - could vanish entirely by the end of this century, warns a new study by researchers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The NASA study concludes that sea ice is now melting about nine percent faster than prior research had indicated, due to rising temperatures and interactions between ice, ocean and the atmosphere." - Excerpt from Environmental News Service; see http://ens-news.com/ens/dec2002/2002-12-02-06.asp
