North Pole May Not Have Any Ice This Summer for the First Time

June 30, 2008

Scientists that have been studying the effects of global warming have said that all of the Arctic ice at the North Pole may melt this summer for the first time. Each year part of the Arctic ice melts, but there has always been some ice left at the North Pole, even during the warm summer months. This change is the latest example of the dangers of our large carbon footprint.

David Barber of the University of Manitoba said, “We’re actually predicting this year that the North Pole may be free of ice for the first time.”

The scientists have observed, both first hand and through satellite images, that most of the ice around the geographic North Pole is ‘annual’ – new ice that has formed in the previous winter freeze. This type of ice is far more prone to melting during the warm summer months.

While a scary possibility, ice on the geographic North Pole is rather symbolic. The majority of the Arctic ice is pushed against the Canadian continental shelf, and will surely last past the summer.

Recent scientific models of Arctic ice show that global warming will cause a completely ice-free summer sometime between 2013 and 2020, a date that is getting rapidly closer.

This could lead to what is known as a ‘positive feedback loop’. Ice acts as a reflector bouncing the solar rays back into space. Without the reflecting ice, more of the suns rays will be absorbed by the earth, thus speeding the rate of global warming.
