Arctic sea ice melt

A stunning animation from WWF International Polar Programme, showing the progressive melting of Artice sea ice since 1979. The white is older ice - five years or more old - and the blues are progressively younger ice, with the shade closest to the ocean being fresh, or one year old, ice. The red dots are tracking buoys, showing how the ice is shifting further and faster as it melts.

"So why cant you show us real time pictures I mean we have satellite's that must have been recording this over the years. or do we?

As soon as the people who made this video update it with new data, we'll post it. But it hasn't been done yet. The data shows, by the way, that summer ice melt has been very similar to the 2007 melt for 2008 and 2009 to date.

@generalspaz This video is true, there are no lies here. But you are right about Al Gore, He is a monstrous hipocrite, and his "inconvienent truth" is inconviently wrong.

But just because Al gore is wrong, doesnt mean climate change is.

i am starting the pole shift survival group.

let me know if u r interested.

[generalspaz]

this video is a completely bogus lie used to perpetuate global warming and Al Gore's burgeoning green empire. As soon as we go green Al Gore will turn into one of the wealthiest men on the planet.

first of all should the same ice from 1970-80 be alsow in 2010? i dont think so, it is not people's fault that the ice melts it has already melted before, not once but several times and then before 1 million years there were no people on earth, so the earth does as it want's.

LIVE AND DO WTF YOU WANT, the earth dose wtf it wants, and the ice will melt even if you drive and do other stuff.

sydneydoc, I have removed your last post as abusive. If you care to post your comments in polite language I will post them.

I love how people blatantly lie to suit their own agenda. This comment is the perfect example - it is a lie on every possible level.

The video has not been removed! And the ice has not returned to normal. In fact, in January 2009, sea ice contracted in mid winter, which is an extremely unusual and worrying event.

I love it ... video removed when they discovered the ice has returned to normal in 2009 !
