Arctic sea ice is shrinking at a rate much faster than scientists ever predicted and its collapse, due to global warming, may well cause extreme weather this winter in North America and Europe, according to climate scientists, warns Los Angeles Times, by no means the only source or scientists to get the wind up. And they could, one and all, well be right.
