WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) – Climate change is transforming the Arctic environment faster than expected and accelerating the disappearance of sea ice, scientists said on Friday in giving their early findings from the biggest-ever study of Canada's changing north.
The research project involved more than 370 scientists from 27 countries who collectively spent 15 months, starting in June 2007, aboard a research vessel above the Arctic Circle. It marked the first time a ship has stayed mobile in Canada's high Arctic for an entire winter.
"(Climate change) is happening much faster than our most pessimistic models expected," said David Barber, a professor at the University of Manitoba and the study's lead investigator, at a news conference in Winnipeg.
Models predicted only a few years ago that the Arctic would be ice-free in summer by the year 2100, but the increasing pace of climate change now suggests it could happen between 2013 and 2030, Barber said.

Most pessimistic ping.
Bering Strait.
I call BS.
Are those the Ball Bearing Straits? You know, as opposed to the Behring Strait?
Or are the Global Warming Alarmists now saying we are in Dire Straits?
Meteorologists have difficulty forecasting the weather five day in advance and yet these clowns are forecasting 3-20 years in the future.
This study was conducted from 2007 til 2008. Since then arctic sea ice has shown a modest rebound from that time. I wonder what the explanation for the improvement in sea ice is?
News flash from the climate liars?
Sure.
Bering Strait.
Polar punny.
But, in any case, the climate changes all the time. It was once warmer and there was passage through the Northwest Passage, but it closed down. So, maybe now it's opening back up again. I would think that would be good news for shipping... :-)
Well they sure as heck are getting money for nothing.
More BS and political correctness.
Give it up.
Even though most people know GW is a hoax and the so called scientists and their political backers have been outed as liars they are still going to feed us this crap in the hope that they can still get their grant money.
YOU LIE!
This guy David Barber has been challenged to a bet about his crazy-ask predictions by Tom Moriarity of Climatesanity, and Barber never responds. This is all hype.
What happened to the volcanoes under the North Pole?
What about the Middle Ages Warming Period and how the warmists have tried to hide it? We are currently well within those temperatures, within natural cycles, and their tortured arguments to refute it are nonsense.
I DON’T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING!
Huh? What?
Sorry. That was not directed at you. I was aiming that at the warmers who wrote this piece.
