Another day, another report with even more dire predictions about the polar ice and its disappearance….previous studies have indicated that summer ice at the north pole is likely to disappear by 2050. But a new study just released by Peter Wadhams, an oceanographer at Cambridge University, indicates that in fact this thinning process might be taking place much more rapidly than anyone previously thought, and could in fact mean no more summer ice at the north pole within 13 years. That would be truely sad, and a massive loss of a beautiful natural phenomon to the human race.
