Fixing problems

[Malthouse]

Let's all hope I'm wrong on this.

I think most sources agree that ice is melting all over the world, but the impact this will have on food production I guess relies on economic factors and population growth.

Hi all, and thanks for your welcome!

Malthouse, thanks for your reply. Melting sea ice is not a problem as, like scotch on the rocks, it keeps things at a steady, cool temperature - it takes a lot of heat to melt ice. The problem occurs when the sea ice stops melting - when it has all gone. Then there is nothing to absorb the extra heat in the Arctic Ocean and the temperature will keep going up, which will affect the weather and ruin harvests.

Hi and welcome.
Think you have a good plan, good luck

For those interested, four-year rolling average of Arctic sea ice volume (from PIOMAS) with trend lines.

Finally, an embedded picture!

That does not look encouraging, unless the trend levels out a bit and quickly.
