Hot Air in the Media Contributes to Global Warming!

It's about the economy and the costs in human terms. Let's stop playing games by quoting random "scientists" and start asking the media to qualify statements from "scientists" by asking if the opinion was peer-reviewed.

Is it because he's doing a tough job that no one likes; or is he doing something wrong? These are not just questions for the White House, these are questions for America.
NASA: Arctic Ice Melting Faster
On May 15, 2007 NASA reported that arctic replenished very little thick sea ice in 2005 - A new NASA study has found that in 2005 the Arctic replaced very little of the thick sea ice it normally loses and replenishes each year. Replenishment of this thick, perennial sea ice each year is essential to the maintenance and stability of the Arctic summer ice cover. The findings complement a NASA study released in fall 2006 that found a 14-percent drop in this perennial ice between 2004 and 2005. The lack of replenishment suggests that the decline may continue in the near future.
