"ICE IN THE ARCTIC IS MELTING FASTER THAN PREVIOUSLY
THOUGHT-AT A RATE OF 9% PER DECADE. AS A RESULT, LATE-SUMMER SEA ICE COVER COULD
DISAPPEAR ENTIRELY BY THE END OF THE CENTURY, SAYS A NEW STUDY. WHILE SEA LEVELS WOULD
NOT BE AFFECTED, IT WOULD PROFOUNDLY IMPACT SUMMER SHIPPING LANES, PLANKTON BLOOMS, AND
OCEAN CIRCULATION SYSTEMS LIKE THE GULF STREAM. THE LOSS OF THE LAYER WOULD ALSO CREATE
A LARGER INFLUX OF SOLAR RADIATION INTO THE ARCTIC OCEAN, IMPACTING REGIONAL AND GLOBAL
CLIMATE SINCE THE SUMMER ICE WOULD NO LONGER REFLECT AS MUCH SUNLIGHT. TRT: 5:12
