For the past 800,000 years, there has always been ice in the Arctic Ocean. But
now climate change is causing this ice to melt at an unprecedented rate, with
some people predicting that the region's waters could be completely ice-free as
early as 2016. And as the ice melts, energy companies are moving in to try and
drill for some of the world's last untapped oil and gas reserves -- the very
fossil fuels that caused the ice to melt in the first place. [Truthloader]
