This article talks about the ice melting in the Arctic. Eric Post released this study on September 11. This study stated that in the past 150 years the earth has warmed about 0.7 degrees but the Arctic has warmed two to three timed that amount. The reason the Arctic is melting this fast is because of the self freezing cycle. This means that the ice is melting more in the summer and in the winter there is not as much ice and snow being produced. I think that this is very important to read about because it can effect our future drastically. Also we may be able to do something about and reverse the process.
