Ed Boyle, Oceanic Salt Switch sciencemag.org

[ verging off into the esoteric, this article goes into my favorite little global warming subtopic, thermohaline circulation. Considering what keeps Europe relatively temperate at high latitudes, "global warming" might end up being quite a misnomer in certain parts of the world. ]

But at this point in the game, the evidence provides a landmark change in our understanding of deep-ocean circulation. During the shift from glacial conditions ~20,000 years ago to the interglacial conditions of the past ~10,000 years, the salt source of the deep sea switched from the Antarctic to the North Atlantic. This finding is sure to be a major feature in modeling studies of the glacial climate.

Hi Win Smith; Re article "THE ARCTIC PERENNIAL SEA ICE COULD BE GONE BY END OF THE CENTURY"

While the perennial sea ice may or may not be gone by the end of the century, there is very little doubt that the author of this article will be. I'd say that his is a rather safe prediction.
