2. Ice at the coldest place in the arctic (north pole) is currently melting. I may be mistaken but I thought the original start of this was a comment that there was an area in the arctic circle that the ice had melted through. I'm not sure how having some area in the artic circle melt completly leads to the ice at the north pole melting. The ice at the north pole may be currently melting or it may not be, but if so that is a new aspect of the issue to discuss. I don't think it it likely that it is melting at the moment, but if it is it would not nescessarily be a shocking change. There was a recorded tempature one time of 49F in Antarctica which is colder then the arctic. If it stayed at 49F it would be an enormous problem, but a brief swing above freezeing is not. If by currently melting you mean that the ice located at the north pole is melting all day and has been for some time, then I do not think it is happening but if it is you are currect that it would be serious.
