Arctic ice melt accelerating, scientists say By Staff (AXcess News) Reno - Scientists say the Arctic ice is melting at a faster pace than previously thought and now believe the Arctic Ocean could be completely ice-free by 2015. Benoit Beauchamp, executive director of the Arctic Institute of North America at the University of Calgary was quoted in an interview as saying "2007 and 2008 have been record years in terms of ice melting in the Arctic." Beauchamp says the rate of ice melt is forcing scientists to revise earlier estimates. Global warming and shifting wind patterns are adding to the rate at which the ice in the Arctic is melting. Temperatures are increasing, which is causing the ice to melt much faster, but shifting winds are also affecting the ice between Greenland and Iceland, which are adding to the declining polar ice cap. While ice could disappear throughout the entire Arctic Ocean during the summer, winter months would create new ice. Beauchamp says the downward trend is based on computer models, though it could show some recovery in 2009.
