No ice??... Save the Polar Bears!! =(

So... people who don't want to believe, might say this is cyclical thing, and yes it might be, however it is going to start affecting us in our own daily lives, and some of us will be blind to see the changes, and some of us will just see the signs...

Poor polar bears....

So what would really happen?

"Another warming ocean event that scientists are studying closely is the migration of king crabs. Marine remotely operated vehicles have captured photos of these giant crabs on the Antarctic Slope, where underwater land starts to rise up to the southernmost continent.It's the first time in tens of millions of years that these predators have appeared that close to Antarctica."

" "In Antarctica, as the air temperature warms up, the humidity rises and the ability of snowfall to occur increases," McClintock said. That snowfall can affect the mortality of penguin eggs."

Ice self collapse: What does it mean?

North Pole May Be Ice Free for First Time This Summer
"We're actually projecting this year that the North Pole may be free of ice for the first time [in history],"

(CNN) -- The North Pole may be briefly ice-free by September as global warming melts away Arctic sea ice, according to scientists from the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado.

"It's not cyclical at this point. I think we understand the physics behind this pretty well," he said. "We've known for at least 30 years, from our earliest climate models, that it's the Arctic where we'd see the first signs of global warming. "It's a situation where we hate to say we told you so, but we told you so," he said.

North Pole could be ice-free this summer, scientists say.
