Scientific American has an article on this imminent danger (see my Twitter links).
The Arctic Thaw Could Make Global Warming Worse
There is a heroine there: Katey Walter; she is a Professor at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. There are villains also. Businesmen and politicians trying to profit out of the thawning of the North Pole.
The situation is dead serious. Keep on eye on these developments.
The plot thickens. I remember some months ago that the Bush administration had cancelled a satellite project to better monitor the Earth. Now I read in Scientific American that Prof. Walter uses a GERMAN stellite, TerraSAR-X, why does she need help from a foreign country? I'm all for international cooperation, but to me this smells funny, a rat, or methane.
Could it be that American moneyed interests were trying to stop the work, of this courageous woman?
In any case: Keep an eye open on this woman's scentific work.
