Awful. Maybe now somebody will pay attention.

Can't get the page to open. What happened?

Basically it's saying that there is a fairly decent chance that the North Pole icecap will actually melt enough to expose open water this summer.

Looting of the arctic to commence shortly there after.

And people still deny global warming is realy.

Santa Claus must be getting worried, he's about to have beachfront property

ON the plus side there is oil under there which may drop prices.

And my home will increase in value - instead of inland from the bay, I'll be oceanfront!

Actually, the north polar cap melting won't raise the sea level by much, as the ice is already displacing water. If the Antarctic cap melts, even I'll be a hundred feet underwater, 60 miles from the coast...

In 30 years. Though speculation may cause it to drop sooner.

By the way this probably won't do anything to convince those who want to ignore global warming. The reason being that the earth has been in a warming cycle far longer than mankind has had the tech to make a difference.

The issue of global warming is that we're making it happen too fast.

The catch-22 regarding attempts to "fix" global warming is that the most ambitious plans have (and have had) trouble achieving their lofty goals, while plans meant to be more easily achievable are criticized at not going far enough.

Global warming is a global problem and so long as most of the world choices to ignore it we're screwed.

We can't even be sure that global warming isn't a normal part of the planet's weather cycle though.
