Havisen på Nordpolen slår igen bundrekord.
Det handler dog ikke bare om 'is der smelter' - afsmeltningen påvirker de arktiske økosystemer, bl.a. de mikroorganismer som er føde for større organismer, der igen er føde for de arktiske fiskebestande.
citat:
“The decline of summer ice is already 50 percent since 1972. For small organisms that live on the underside of the ice and also the starting point of the human food chain are also for us, leaving less and less habitat,” said Dr George Heygster. Satellite observations of the Arctic sea ice extent began back in 1972, and so far this year the current minimum sits 27,000 square kilometres below the 2007 number, 0.6 percent, and could drop even lower in the coming weeks."
