The Week Ahead: Degrees of difference
Even if climate scientists gathered in Poland this week and next can come up with a way keep global warming at bay, an ice-free summer is likely in the Arctic’s future
At least once in the next fortnight — although more probably several times — you will hear that temperatures in the Arctic are rising twice as fast as elsewhere on the planet, and that an “ice-free*” summer in the Arctic Ocean can be expected some time before the end of the century, and perhaps as soon as 2040.
