AP on Yahoo wrote: ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Climate change could thaw the top 11 feet of permafrost in most areas of the Northern Hemisphere by 2100, altering ecosystems across Alaska, Canada and Russia, according to a federal study.

Using supercomputers in the United States and Japan, the study calculated how frozen soil would interact with air temperatures, snow, sea ice changes and other processes. The most extreme scenario involved the melting of the top 11 feet of permafrost, or earth that remains frozen year-round.

< sarcasm>News bulletin: The number of hours of daylight has dropped from 15 hours to 9 hours in the New York area between June 21 and December 21. I think we need to lay contingency plans for the 100% disappearance of daylight forever, based upon current trends.
