“A new study suggests there could be no summer ice at all as early as 2020.

Arctic Ocean summer ice may melt completely, “possibly within the next decade or two,” federal scientists say.

“extending summertime ice melting trends into the future in a straight line predicts an ice-free Arctic by 2020, the study shows.”
