I already posted that someone told me they heard the particles from burning coal were slowing the effect.

I saw on the news tonight, a research team from the artic has discovered the water temperature underneath the ice is much higher than they expected it to be, and the ozone is worse as well. That is NOT good news.

And then there's this... http://www.iarc.uaf.edu/highlights/2008/ISSS-08/ SUMMARY: Continuing climate changes in the Arctic have received renewed scientific attention during the International Polar Year that began in early 2007. This briefing presents early results from a range of studies conducted during IPY based on climate models and new observations taken from sea, land, and space. Findings include the discovery of new seeps of the greenhouse gas methane along the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, a lengthening snowmelt season and a second year of ice mass loss in Greenland, and evidence that the predicted amplification of Arctic warming due to decreasing sea ice has already begun.

http://www.earthsky.org/radioshows/5...sea-level-rise Robert Bindschadler: I think that it’s important to emphasize that the changes are happening faster and faster, and even we experts are surprised at how rapid the changes are taking place, and we’re still trying to come up with a deeper understanding so that we can predict what’s going to happen.
