Government scientists recently completed an annual study of the Arctic and essentially found that global warming continues unabated. Specifically, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Arctic Report Card: -- There has been a near-record loss of Arctic sea ice; -- Loss of this ice allows more solar heating of the ocean. That in turn, endangers land and marine life; -- There was abnormal melting of surface ice in Greenland over the summer; -- Autumn temperatures in the arctic are a record 9 degrees above normal; -- 2007 was the warmest on record in the Arctic.
