“The drowned world

Icecaps will be melting, sea levels will be rising … If you don’t like today’s weather, says Tim Radford, then wait for the horrors we could face by 2020

The Arctic Ocean, once frozen solid all winter and choked with hazardous floes for most of the summer, could be one of the friendlier seas.”
