Artic ice to vanish in summer, report says

On Thursday, new data was released which claims that the Arctic Ocean will be "largely ice free" during the summer months within the next 10 years. The data was presented by the UK-based Catlin Arctic Survey and the World Wildlife Fund. The researchers forsee within the next couple of decades that the Arctic Ocean will be completely clear of ice. They surveyed the northern part of Beaufort Sea and found that most of the ice was first year ice. The scientists are worried by this because normally it is made up of much older, thicker ice. People from the WWF believe that changes in sea-ice cover will only increase global warming.

I think that its time for country leaders to step and try to prevent this from happening. This global warming has been going on for long enough and it needs to be stopped before it gets even worse. I think that eventually if the world doesn't do something to stop global warming now, the consequences will become very severe, and it will be too late to do anything about it.
