NORTH POLE ICE CRACKING (global warming, Arctic, climate)

[More at http://www.nytimes.com/dotearth]The sea ice at the North Pole is only a few feet thick. It floats on an ocean that is 14,000 feet deep. And it's cracking under our feet. A global warming expert suggests what to do... Everything you hear -- all the chugging and huffing and banging -- is the ice beneath us.
Read about it in my new book THE NORTH POLE WAS HERE. First Chapter free online at www.nytimes.com/learning/globalwarming

September Arctic sea ice is now declining at a rate of 11.5 percent per decade, relative to the 1979 to 2000 average.1 Arctic sea ice reaches its minimum each September. :(

I guess when the earth cracks from an earthquake, that is G/W also ????? The fucking ice is moving and changing, there is water under the ice shifting, duh....G/W is such bullshit.....
