Global warming melts the arctic

Somehow I have the feeling that every day there coming dooms-day news from somewhere and especially after global warming became our every day thing. The latest news are coming from the arctic where according to some satellite the arctic is losing its long-term ice cover.

Living a few miles from the arctic cycle I have to admit that we strongly feel the weather change. This year has snow only a few times and never enough, mostly rain. Even the temperatures are pretty high for the season, average temperature this winter has been well above +5 and for the first time I found myself often wearing sport shoes instead the usual heavy boots. It is the second year the sea hasn’t frozen and we didn’t have white Christmas.
