arctic changes cover expect happening ice ocean sooner starting system
Feedbacks in the system are starting to take hold. We could see changes in Arctic ice happening much sooner than we thought and that is important because without the ice cover over the Arctic Ocean we have to expect big changes in Earth's weather.
anticipate arctic conditions eventually flat ice point
Even if temperatures and conditions went flat from this point forward, we anticipate that Arctic ice would eventually disappear.
certain decline starting system

decline hold sea starting
We think that these feedbacks are starting to take hold and that we're going to see an accelerated decline in sea ice.
