"The melting Arctic shouldn't be on the backburner,' as it focuses on the fact that the Arctic is getting warmer faster than almost anywhere else on Earth. Over the past three decades, the average extent of the Arctic sea ice has declined by 25 to 30 percent, and the rate of decline is accelerating. At

Many researchers point to a decline in Arctic sea ice, an increase in droughts, and changing rain and snow patterns as signs of climate change. - Rep. Paul Broun (R-Georgia), 2009, at a debate over

The coastal cities with the best chances of being preserved for posterity are those built on parts of the Earth's crust that are being pulled ever so slowly downwards by the movement of tectonic plates, such as London.

Due to its light color, Arctic sea ice reflects most of the sunlight that reaches it back into space. In contrast, dark ocean water absorbs most of the sunlight. As sea ice continues
