NOAA affirms predictions of sea ice loss
By DAN JOLING, Associated Press Writer Thu Sep 6, 10:18 PM ET
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An analysis of 20 years' worth of real-life
observations supports recent U.N. computer predictions that by 2050,
summer sea ice off Alaska's north coast will probably shrink to nearly
half the area it covered in the 1980s, federal scientists say.
Such a loss could have profound effects on mammals dependent on the sea
ice, such as polar bears, now being considered for threatened species
status because of changes in habitat due to global warming. It could
also threaten the catch of fishermen.
In the 1980s, sea ice receded 30 to 50 miles each summer off the north
coast, said James Overland, a Seattle-based oceanographer for the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
