Publisher's Note: It occurred to me several years ago that the most important place to look for the evidence of manmade global climate change would be at the poles. While ExxonMobil and the Koch Brothers spent millions of dollars on a "Deny, Dither, and Delay" program almost identical to that earlier followed by cigarette companies, the world's scientists have been busy compiling mountains of new evidence of the unprecedented degree of warming the planet is currently undergoing.

 

In the face of this mounting cacophony of Fake Science delivered by non-specialists at a time when global scientific minds in the field are virtually unanimous I realized that we needed a simple metric to bring the BS to an end, and to get on with the planet-scale discussion of how to respond to this set of changes.

 

It's hard to argue with melting ice.
