Arctic Ice Melting A Teensy Bit Too Fast

So what? says the prez. Who cares about bears. After all it's just ice. We'll send up some freezers and BP can supply the oil to burn. Well, maybe Exxon.. uh, well, get Senator Burns to "earmark" some of that Federal Pork.
"For more than 25 years Arctic sea ice has slowly diminished in winter by about 1.5 percent per decade. But in the past two years the melting has occurred at rates 10 to 15 times faster. From 2004 to 2005, the amount of ice dropped 2.3 percent; and over the past year, it's declined by another 1.9 percent..." according to NASA senior research scientist Josefino Comiso.

It's all so pious to kill the planet for the sake of a bunch of BORN AGAIN ASSHOLES.
