  • Using sonar and radar, scientists have discovered that Alaskan glacier ice is melting one hundred times faster than previously thought.

    The end of the article really has mixed messages though:

    “It’s a real call to action,” to better understand how these systems work.

    Fortunately, scientists have some time to figure it out.

    “These glaciers aren’t getting lost that fast…they’ll be around for decades to come,”

    DECADES?  Oh, no worry then.  I mean, they've only been around for hundreds of thousands of years.  A couple decades is LOTS of time.
