Al Gore's Nobel Speech says Artic Ice gone in 7 years
from Al's speech (mailed to me)

"Last September 21, as the Northern Hemisphere tilted away from the sun, scientists reported with unprecedented distress that the North Polar ice cap is “falling off a cliff.” One study estimated that it could be completely gone during summer in less than 22 years. Another new study, to be presented by U.S. Navy researchers later this week, warns it could happen in as little as 7 years.

Seven years from now."


this is from the US NAvy folks

3. Give Blair his due - he signed it
He later stopped trying to get the US to sign it, which was annoying and disappointing. But the UK was in the first wave of signers and ratifiers of the treaty.
