Take Part - In a new University of Washington study, researchers found that in one part of the Arctic, sea ice has thinned about 65 percent--from 11 feet to 4 feet—since 1975. In September, when Arctic sea ice typically reaches its lowest levels, the ice thinned by 85 percent, The Guardian reports. The new study is based on a variety of sources, and was published in The Cryosphere, a scientific journal.
“We knew the ice was thinning, but we now have additional confirmation on how fast, and we can see that it’s not slowing down,” the study’s lead author, Ron Lindsay, a University of Washington climatologist, said in a statement.

Lovelock predicted this more than 10 years ago.
Finally, they found the northwest passage.
