Arctic expert predicts final collapse of sea ice within four years

Have we really done this?

"As sea ice shrinks to record lows, Prof Peter Wadhams warns a 'global disaster' is now unfolding in northern latitudes

One of the world's leading ice experts (Cambridge) has predicted the final collapse of Arctic sea ice in summer months within four years."

Appalling.

'Wadhams has spent many years collecting ice thickness data from submarines passing below the arctic ocean.... "I have been predicting [the collapse of sea ice in summer months] for many years. The main cause is simply global warming: as the climate has warmed there has been less ice growth during the winter and more ice melt during the summer." '
