Scientists 'flabbergasted' at Arctic melting

American scientists studying the Arctic icecap say the area covered by sea ice has shrunk for a fourth consecutive year. "We had sea ice this year that was about 22 per cent below the long-term mean and that's roughly the size of Alaska in terms of how much ice we've lost, in terms of what is normally seen over summer period in the Arctic." "But it's hard to deny the fact that we're emitting a lot of gases into the atmosphere that are causing warming and the Arctic is certainly warming," she said. "What we believe is that there's these feedbacks from the systems that are occurring in the Arctic appear to be sustaining this continual decline in the sea ice cover.
