For years, there's been a building chorus of warnings on the looming prospect of «climate conflict» and «global warring» that might be set off as greenhouse - driven warming disrupts longstanding weather patterns in already - turbulent parts of the world (think sub-Saharan Africa) or rising seas dislocate coastal populations (think Bangladesh).

«I think the minimum this year is more remarkable than in 2007,» said NSIDC scientist Julienne Stroeve in an email, «since the 2007 minimum was in large part driven by [unusual weather patterns], and this summer we shattered the 2007 minimum under more normal summer circulation patterns.»
