NASA Sees Rapid Changes in Arctic Sea Ice

NASA data show that Arctic perennial sea ice, which normally survives the summer melt season and remains year-round, shrunk abruptly by 14 percent between 2004 and 2005

I thought this was another interesting piece of evidence which shows that global climate change is happening and at an alarming rate.

Could the huge drought which is affecting america be connected to the melting of the ice caps? If this melting was continue at this rate or even at a more increased rate then we would have a total melt down of the ice caps within the next 5 years which would bring us to about 2012.

Constrast this with The last few decades which have seen summer ice shrink by about 0.7% per year. This does not look good at all?

I think we gonna need to build a bigger boat?
