For OpEdNews: Thom Hartmann - Writer

The Arctic is hotter than it's been in 2,000 years and what's startling is - it should be cooling because of differences in the Earth's orbit that result in the region getting less direct sun.

Bette Otto-Bliesner, a National Center for Atmospheric Research scientist and co-author of this new study study of Arctic temperatures published in Friday's edition of the journal Science says "If it hadn't been for the increase in human-produced greenhouse gases, summer temperatures in the Arctic should have cooled gradually over the last century,"

And with the melting of land-based ice, such as the massive Greenland ice cap, sea levels could rise across the world, threatening millions who live in coastal cities.


The next big chance and maybe our last chance will come in Copenhagen in December. Let your elected Reps know the US needs to work hard to make the Copenhagen global warming meeting successful. How hot is it?
