Whether we look at the steady increase in global temperature; the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to the highest level in a half - million years; the march of warmest - ever years (9 of the10 hottest on record have occurred since 2000); the dramatic shrinking of mountain glaciers and Arctic sea ice; the accelerating rise in sea level; or the acidification of our oceans; the tale told by the evidence is consistent and it is compelling.

Many experts on the Arctic say that global warming is causing the ice to melt and that the warming is at least partly the result of the atmospheric buildup of heat - trapping gases from tailpipes and smokestacks.

Most of the studies on the Arctic climate and ice trends cited to support the proposed listing assumed that the buildup of heat - trapping gases was probably contributing to the loss of sea ice, or that the continued buildup of these gases, left unchecked, could create ice - free Arctic summers later this century, and possibly in as little as three decades.
