Experts warn of melting 'ice arches'

Natural dams stop big Arctic Ocean icebergs from floating south

A team of international scientists is sounding alarms about the state of a natural ice dam in northeastern Canada that has historically prevented older, thicker Arctic Ocean sea ice from drifting south through a narrow passage along Ellesmere Island and melting in warmer waters.

A study by U.S. and Danish researchers -- including NASA's leading experts on the polar ice cap -- describes how the Nares Strait "ice arches" failed to form during the winter of 2007 in the 35-kilometre gap between Ellesmere and the northwest coast of Greenland.

Sea ice typically consolidates in distinctive, curved structures at the north end of the strait -- not far from Hans Island, the subject of a decades-old territorial dispute between Canada and Denmark.

But when the blockage failed to materialize as usual in 2007 -- the same year a record-setting Arctic thaw first raised global concern about polar warming -- the central Arctic Ocean discharged double the average annual amount of sea ice through Nares Strait, the researchers found...

1. Yeah but

the emails, the emails I tell you are all that's needed to "prove" that all climate scientists are in it just to get really really famous, do Colbert and make a mint on selling cooling fans to the gullible.

:sarcasm: cause someone's going to ask if I'm serious.
