First, the melting: A new book by the U.S. Geological Survey says most Alaskan glaciers are thinning, retreating, or both. That includes “significant retreat” in the last two decades of the 20th century.
Next, the storminess: Supposedly, it’s gotten much worse in the last 50 years. That, in turn, has increased sea ice drift, which affects shipping.
Both fall within the prediction parameters of global warming computer modeling.
