Default No escape for dramatic Arctic thaw?

Many scientists see no escape for dramatic Arctic thaw


Many scientists say it has taken a long time for them to accept that
global warming, partly the result of carbon dioxide and other
heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, could shrink the Arctic's summer
cloak of ice.

But many of those same scientists have concluded that the momentum
behind human-caused warming, combined with the region's tendency to
amplify change, has put the familiar Arctic past the point of no
return.


Yup, now that it is being recognised that global warming is happening it is
too late to stop it!

NB it is too late NOW. Immediatiate action is imperitave. GWB's
procrastination over the levees in NO will be nothing compared with the
effects of his procrastination over global warming!

Cheers, Alastair.
