Climate Change Map Paints Bleak Picture
A new map reveals how global warming will affect the globe as temperatures are predicted to rise by as much as 4 degrees average by 2060. This translates to a possible 16 degree C rise in the Arctic. This means less water, more forest fires, total meting of the Arctic Summer Ice, and flooding of low lying levels ispredicted as sea levels rise. Click link to view map.

Arctic's Baffin Island Starts to Melt!
Baffin Island, the largest island in the Arctic Canadian Archipelago, reveals from it's sediment that it is undergoing a major warming trend, probably as a result of global warming.
As part of a 21,000-year cycle, ( Milankovitch Cycles ),the Arctic has been receiving less summertime energy from the Sun over the last 8,000 years because of a well-established "wobble" in the Earth's solar rotation – the Earth is now 0.6 million miles further away from the Sun during the Arctic summer than it some 2000 years ago. Despite this, the area is warming up, as proven from the sediment cores taken from the bottom of the lake. Further proof, that warming is in fact taking place at an unprecedented level.

Arctic Summer Ice Gone in a Decade?
Latest Arctic surveys suggest Arctic summer ice could be gone in a decade, certainly within twenty years as global warming caused by higher levels of greenhouse gases melts the sea ice. This will allow possible commercial shipping routes to open up along the fabled Northwest passage and the plunder of the Arctic's riches... eventually leading to more warming perhaps.
