Nasa says that great big Ice Cube at the top of our only planet is melting, and they have pictures! Here's the cut&paste from the nasa.gov website. Or, you could stick with commentary from policy wonks whenever you decide to moan about the anti-pollution crowd...<br> <br> Steve Cole <br> Headquarters, Washington <br> 202-358-0918 <br> stephen.e.cole@nasa.gov <br> <br> Alan Buis <br> Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. <br> 818-354-0474 <br> alan.buis@jpl.nasa.gov <br> <br> July 7, 2009 RELEASE : 09-155 New NASA Satellite Survey Reveals Dramatic Arctic Sea Ice Thinning <br> WASHINGTON -- Arctic sea ice thinned dramatically between the winters of 2004 and 2008, with thin seasonal ice replacing thick older ice as the dominant type for the first time on record. The new results, based on data from a NASA Earth-orbiting spacecraft, provide further evidence for the rapid, ongoing transformation of the Arctic's ice cover. <br> <br> Scientists from NASA and the University of Washington in Seattle conducted the most comprehensive survey to date using observations from NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite, known as ICESat, to make the first basin-wide estimate of the thickness and volume of the Arctic Ocean's ice cover. Ron Kwok of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., led the research team, which published its findings July 7 in the Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans.
