Arctic ice 'is at tipping point'

Arctic sea ice has shrunk to the second smallest extent since satellite records began, US scientists have revealed.

The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) says that the ice-covered area has fallen below its 2005 level, which was the second lowest on record.


Melting has occurred earlier in the year than usual, meaning that the iced area could become even smaller than last September, the lowest recorded.

Really?

You mean since 1968, then?

Wow, I wonder what it was like in 1958? Or 1948?...or 1848.....or,1748?

I don't buy it. The Earth is what it is. It survives everything. Man can't destroy it. Or control it, or even, massage it.

God bless this Earth, and all who sail on Her.

Respectfully,

Last plague # 4 is here:
Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. (Revelation 16:8-9)
