Melting Arctic Ice Could Alter Ocean Circulation Patterns
- "In both 2002 and 2003, the Northern Hemisphere registered record-low sea ice cover. New satellite data show the Arctic region warming more during the 1990s than during the 1980s, with Arctic Sea ice now melting by up to 15 percent per decade. The long-sought Northwest Passage, a dream of early explorers, could become our nightmare. The loss of Arctic Sea ice could alter ocean circulation patterns and trigger changes in global climate patterns." - excerpt from the ENN article at http://www.enn.com/direct/display-release-m.asp?objid=%7C%7CD1D1366D000000FA447EB18994BDD88F
