挪威國際極地年秘書處執行秘書奧爾海姆表示，由於全球變暖，今年夏天北極極點的冰蓋可能全部融化。

奧爾海姆從事極地氣候研究已有近40年歷史，曾擔任挪威極點研究所所長。他表示，目前全球變暖導致的北極冰蓋融化速度令人震驚。

奧爾海姆稱，多種監測結果顯示，去年夏天氣溫最高的幾週，北冰洋冰蓋覆蓋面積降至300萬平方公里，為歷史最低點。這數字在2000年前平均為750萬平方公里。這表明從2000年起，全球氣候變暖的速度加劇，形勢日趨嚴峻。

他表示：「如果今年挪威年平均氣溫與去年持平的話，到夏天氣溫最高的那幾天北極極點的冰蓋將全部融化。從目前氣候變化看，這種情況很可能出現。

奧爾海姆說，去年夏天，由於冰蓋大面積縮小，甚至出現了一條從白令海峽到奧斯陸的新航線，較原有線路縮短三分之一以上的里程。美國、英國等一些發達國家的公司正在規劃新航線，以節約航運成本。

奧爾海姆指，這種情況使人深感憂慮說，因為一旦航線開通，必然會有公司承攬油運任務，那些深入北冰洋腹地的大型油輪萬一齣現原油泄漏，將給北極生態安全造成災難。

奧爾海姆稱，按照目前全球變暖的勢頭，不出21世紀，海平面就將上升1米。

and ya, this winter is ALOT colder then normally too.

puZZle

not sure about the North Pole

but the high mountains north of the Middle East ARE melting fast
satellite captured that 1/3 of the snow/glacier has been melted within 10 years

One scientist say our north pole is melting, another say we are entering another ice age....

who gives a f*ck,  we are all gonna die b4 either is going to happen

I am sure I hear a lot more about global warming than "ice age"  As far as I understand, the effect with global warming would happen much sooner.  Somewhere around 2050, a lot of the city around the coast would be wiped.

咁有得食好食多D喇...

阿邊個邊個

i agree with chobit,
2050 is like 42 years from now...we might be able to see the end of snow capped mountains and glaciers in our lifetime...

我唔信！係會有事的話，我唔信得佢一個人出聲。

actually
it is better called "Global Climate Change"

Some places are getting hotter
and some colder

the planet is still getting more and more messed up
