The Arctic Ocean could be free of ice in the summer as soon as 2010 or 2015 – something that hasn’t happened for more than a million years, according to a leading polar researcher.
Louis Fortier, scientific director of ArcticNet, a Canadian research network, said the sea ice is melting faster than predicted by models created by international teams of scientists, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Louis Fortier must have found ice that is a million years old or how could he be see sure. He needed something to do carbon dating, right?
This is strange, as they never mentioned sea ice older than a couple of years.
I hope he is keeping it cold or his evidence will melt awaaaaaay..
Here’s my favourite example, from the UK Independent newspaper in 2008.
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/exclusive-scientists-warn-that-there-may-be-no-ice-at-north-pole-this-summer-855406.html
“It seems unthinkable, but for the first time in human history, ice is on course to disappear entirely from the North Pole this year.”
I like that too. 2997 was below the average but this year it is since about March within the +-2 standard deviation according The National Snow and Ice Data Center.

What has changed between “first time in human history” and “for more than a million years”?
…It was ice free in the MWP, the RWP, and in the 1950’s…
“ice free” does not mean the same thing to everyone……
Bartenders have a clearer definition than Arctic experts.
“Sorry, I accidentally dropped a Texas size piece of ice in your Scotch.”
NSIDC believes that around 5000BC, the arctic ice disappeared completely every summer. Of course, that killed all of the polar bears…
