Scientists in the US have presented one of the most dramatic forecasts yet for the disappearance of Arctic sea ice.
Their latest modelling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years.
Professor Wieslaw Maslowski told an American Geophysical Union meeting that previous projections had underestimated the processes now driving ice loss.
Summer melting this year reduced the ice cover to 4.13 million sq km, the smallest ever extent in modern times.Link to the story.

Unbelievable! I cannot imagine that if the water level increase in Hong Kong and then cause flooding....
Not just Hong Kong, you just imagine the islands on the Pacific Ocean. Some of them are just 5 metres above sea levels. Those islands will simply disappear.
