Yahoo! News - Scientists Find Arctic Warming Quickly

Scientists say changes in the earth's climate from human influences are occurring particularly intensely in the Arctic region, evidenced by widespread melting of glaciers, thinning sea ice and rising permafrost temperatures.
A study released Monday said the annual average amount of sea ice in the Arctic has decreased by about 8 percent in the past 30 years, resulting in the loss of 386,100 square miles of sea ice — an area bigger than Texas and Arizona combined.

Whew, thank goodness we signed the Kyoto Protocols. Ooops, my bad that was the freakin' Russians. Well, at least we have a President that is concerned about the environment. Sigh, all right fine, we are fucked.
