Rapid Arctic sea-ice decline observed☜Summer-time melting of Arctic sea-ice has accelerated far beyond the expectations of climate models. This area of sea-ice melt during 2007-2009 was about 40% greater than the average prediction from IPCC AR4 climate models.☜EF597B

Historical ice data ad hoc and haphazard
Historical ice data ad hoc and haphazard☜Until recently, the arctic ice extent was measured only during expeditions. The satellite record is too short to justify claims that there is anything exceptional about the apparent shrinkage in Arctic ice.☜EF597B
