arctic ice melt
Will History Brand us History's Biggest F**k Ups?
[NOTE: Asked to clean up the language in the title. Which in this case I consider inappropriate because FUCK UPS is really what I mean, nothing less. That is EXACTLY what future generations will consider us if we don't do something. But clean up the title they say so I do it.]
Martin Frobisher in 1576 was one of the first navagators to try and find a Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. He was 431 years too early.
This year, global warming has hit the Arctic sea ice harder than ever before, and the Arctic ice has melted to record lows...opening up the Northwest Passage to navagation.
From the Guardian:
The Arctic ice cap has collapsed at an unprecedented rate this summer and levels of sea ice in the region now stand at record lows, scientists have announced.
Experts say they are "stunned" by the loss of ice, with an area almost twice as big as the UK disappearing in the last week alone.
