The idea of wealthy a-holes indulging in "climate change tourism",in order to view an ice-free Arctic,is one of the most disgusting things I have seen in a long time.Disgusting,but not surprising.Once the Arctic completely thaws,we can no doubt expect to see a new capitalist land rush,and development boom,for whatever length of time the earth has left.

But this article is ignoring another possible factor in the loss of glaciers,and sea ice.That being a global loss of cloud cover.Not to mention what such a corresponding rainfall might mean for agriculture and animal life worldwide.
