DO NEOCONS LISTEN TO ANYONE BESIDES THEIR WAR GENERALS ???

Abstract: Los Alamos computer models of ocean and sea ice circulation are enabling forecasts of Arctic sea ice melting and its possible impact on global climate change. Those forecasts project that, unless steps are taken now to reduce greenhouse gases, the Arctic Ocean will, by 2040, be ice-free for part of each year, bringing devastation to Arctic wildlife and altering ocean circulation and regional climate patterns.

Let's see. Canada states there is open water in many areas where there was once ice all year round.
But.
The USA EPA can't see to it that Polar Bears are protected. What was that Bush was stating about Global Warming? Huh?
Ice Is So Thin That Daylight Will Melt It In Most Places (click here)
Toronto (eCanadaNow) -- In times past the Arctic Ice Mass was a reality, even in the middle of summer, but that has changed in the last twenty years. Now, many places that formerly had ice year round are faced with open water for a significant part of the year.
Arctic Sea Ice is now so thin that in most areas a bright sunny day causes it to melt completely away. Research has shown that the Arctic Ice reduction is linked to warmer than average temperatures, temperatures that thought to be linked to human greenhouse gas emissions.
“We have not seen this strong an effect on sea ice until now,” said Jennifer Kay. Ms. Kay is a scientist on the U.S. led research team.
“Now that ice is tending to be thin, we often have a chain reaction of melting,” said Ms. Kay.
The current research has shown that the lack of summertime Arctic Ice and the warmer temperatures can both be traced to the overall rise in greenhouse gases made from human actions.
Readings taken annually by United States Military Submarines has shown a reduction in Arctic Sea ice by as much as 40 percent since 1960.
