From the barren Arctic shore of this village in Canada’s far northwest, 2,414 kilometers north of Seattle, veteran observer Eddie Gruben has seen the summer ice retreating more each decade as the world has warmed. By this weekend the ice edge lay some 128 kilometers at sea.

"Move along, move along now, nothing to see here, keep moving to the next article. Just far left propaganda, nothing to see here. Do not mind the melting ice, happens all the time, go to another topic."

"Do not look at the fake ice, all done with photo shop. Do not believe your own eyes. Big business and the Republican party will tell you what to believe. Trust us, we love the future...."

Ah yes, another bit of proof that the far right will claim is not real.....LOL

Of course it is natural that the extremeities of the planet Artic Circle and Antartica will heat up much more quickly (about 5 degrees) than the planet in general.As well as sea ice melt the ice melting on the tundra is exposing hundreds of square km of grasslands which are now emitting heat.We are facing a massive crisis and even if you do not believe that why would you not do something just as an insurance policy

The Canadian Ice Service, part of the Fed's Environment Canada Dept. have said something different: "Ice choking Northwest Passage: officials" See their report here: http://www.canada.com/technology/choking+Northwest+Passage+officials/1853923/story.html and "The result, the agency said, is that ice conditions "are delaying any potential navigability of the Northwest Passage this year. This is opposite to what Environment Canada observed in the last week of July in 2007 and 2008."

Calling Dr. Gore! Calling Dr. Gore!

Millions of gallons of fresh water to be had for some. I can see it now, Gore's Finest Pure Glacier Water. Come have a cold drink in the summer heat of Inuvialuit.
