I am wondering if its reasonable to expect a sharp decline from the current trajectory as this heated river water enters the Arctic Ocean from heat wave affected land mass - notwithstanding other eventualities. There'd be a raft of records broken as the ice sheet heads towards its September low.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297894155332175892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046701423623795423.post-56052340185551012632015-05-26T17:58:28.404-07:002015-05-26T17:58:28.404-07:00Well done!

In the end, these are all feedbacks of global warming caused by people's emissions, threatening to cause rapid further warming.
