Satellite photos released today show that the Arctic ice sheets will likely reach yet another record low this summer before they stop melting for the year in September.Furthermore, a study released today concluded that there is more methane in the permafrost in the Arctic regions of the Earth than was originally thought. When the permafrost melts, the methane is released into the atmosphere, which will speed up global warming even further. That's a scary thought indeed.
