Previously, climate models have estimated a loss of summer ice in the Arctic around the year 2100 or beyond. However, the observations show that things are well ahead of schedule and an ice-free summer by 2030 is quite possible.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.google.com/?ncl=1121036909&hl=en&topic=t&btclp=1&scoring=r"><BR /><DIV>Such a change in the surface of the Arctic would have profound implications on climate, not just in the Arctic, but around the globe.
