The Arctic will remain on thinning ice, and climate warming is expected to begin affecting the Antarctic also, scientists said Friday. "The long-term prognosis is not very optimistic," atmospheric scientist Jennifer Francis of Rutgers University said at a briefing. Last summer sea ice in the North shrank to a record low, a change many attribute to global warming. Asked if this summer will match last year's record low sea ice in the North, Overland [said] that is likely. "The tea leaves point to a minimal amount of sea ice next September, that would be the same as we had last summer, 40 percent loss compared to 20 years ago," he said.
That might be at the root of their problem. They try to divine the weather by looking at tea leaves and arrows, instead of going outside and looking around. | |

#10 Trees are flora, JosephM -- flora like flowers. Animals are fauna -- like baby deer. ;-) |

#8 Sea ice is thin but ice on the glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland is getting thicker and thicker. So what really changes? |
