Well – we already knew that. But as Treehugger reports, the ice is melting faster than the official predictions of the IPCC. The IPCC is the same organisation that conservatively suggested that humans are 90% likely to be causing global warming. In the face of reality, their conservative estimates on ice melt seem to be very conservative indeed. Perhaps they are also understating our impact?
Vincenze also posted a simple argument for why we need to act – risk management 101 really. Makes common sense – so why is it still in question?
Anyways – very interesting. And with Al and the IPCC getting the Nobel prize, mebbe more action is on the way? I sure hope so…
