Guardian Unlimited | Science | Meltdown fear as Arctic ice cover falls to record winter low
From the article:
The summer and winter ice levels are the lowest since satellite monitoring began in 1979, and almost certainly the lowest since local people began keeping records around 1900. The pace of decline since 2003, if continued, would see the Arctic totally ice-free in summer within 30 years - though few scientists would stake their reputations on a long-term trend drawn from only three years.
Oddly, I can't find other versions of this story on the internet yet. I guess they are coming.
