at a

rate they show, we could be seeing significant summer

US researchers report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that they examined 25 years of satellite data to find that the water lapping
at the world's coasts is rising, and the
rate of rise is getting
faster, as the ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica start to
melt at a greater
rate.
Sea level rises reflect
melting of the Greenland ice sheet, where
melting since measurements began in 1979 increased by 30 percent (S. Konrad, University of Colorado, AGU, 2008), and of the west Antarctica ice sheet which is losing ice
at rates 60 percent
faster than 10 years ago (British Antarctic Survey, Nature Geoscience, 2008).
Since the
rate of change
at the beginning of refreezing tends to be
faster than end of
melting, removing higher frequencies with a filter introduces a general drift to a earlier date of minimum ice extent.
Update: Since the
rate of change
at the beginning of refreezing tends to be
faster than end of
melting, removing higher frequencies with a filter introduces a general drift to a earlier date of minimum ice extent.
Ice
melts a lot
faster in water
at 10 °C than in air
at 20 °C because of energy transfer
rates, plus warmer air ascends and
melting requires a lot of latent heat.
The IPCC 2007 Fourth Assessment of climate change science concluded that large reductions in the emissions of greenhouse gases, principally CO2, are needed soon to slow the increase of atmospheric concentrations, and avoid reaching unacceptable levels.However, climate change is happening even
faster than previously estimated; global CO2 emissions since 2000 have been higher than even the highest predictions, Arctic sea ice has been
melting at rates much
faster than predicted, and the rise in the sea level has become more rapid.
(Due to global warming and glacial
melt spurred by fossil fuel burning, oceans are now rising
at their
fastest rates in 10,000 years.

A week after it emerged that some off - hand speculative remarks to a journalist regarding all Himalayan glaciers
melting by 2035 made it into the 2007 IPCC report like they had been in peer - reviewed literature, the world's highest climate change organization will review the disputed claim.The IPCC report says: «Glaciers in the Himalaya are receding
faster than in any other part of the world and, if the present
rate continues, the likelihood of them disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high if the Earth keeps warming
at the current
rate.»
The Glacier Contribution to Sea Level graph demonstrates how the contribution from
melting glaciers began increasing
at a
faster rate starting in the 1990s.
