| The Arctic ice sheet is clearly melting. |
A friend with influence over machinations in Shepparton has
argued that “the punters” will take notice of climate change when they realise
the Arctic ice sheet it truly melting, well, that time is here.
The ABC has reported that NASA has released maps showing sea
ice coverage of the Artic in 1984 and 2012, after researched revealed that sea
ice melted to its lowest level on record this year.
A story headed: “Before and after: Arctic sea ice in 1984 and 2012” points out that the minimum ice
extent in 2012 was about half the average.
A graphic with the story shows the clear difference between
what the ice was like in 1984 and how it appears today.
It is time “the punters” sat up, took notice, accepted the
science that illustrates the globe is warming, and the ice, one of the key “reflectors”
of sunshine, is melting.
