Reduce text sizeThis summer the speed of the Arctic ice retreat shown by satellites has astonished scientists. John Wallace, a climate scientist at the University of Washington, answers Scitizen's questions.
What are the scientists observing?
Can this arctic melt be understood by current climate models?
In an interview to the New York Times, you said "we might have passed a point where it's becoming essentially irreversible". Can you elaborate on this?

Revkin deserves attention, as well as John Michael Wallace’s view on: “Can this arctic melt be understood by current climate models?” but neither should be overlooked that science still has to answer the WHERE, WHEN, WHY of the early Arctic warming in the late 1910s, now explained by http://www.arctic-warming.com, which can be regarded as testing ground for any reliability claim of climate models. |
