The Arctic Ocean freezes every winter and much of the
sea-ice then thaws every summer, and that process will
continue whatever happens with climate change. Even if the
Arctic continues to be one of the fastest-warming regions of
the world, it will always be plunged into bitterly cold
polar dark every winter. And year-by-year, for all kinds of
natural reasons, there’s huge variety of the state of the
ice.
For a start, it does not automatically follow that a record
amount of ice will melt this summer. More important for
determining the size of the annual thaw is the state of the
weather as the midnight sun approaches and temperatures
rise. But over the more than 30 years of satellite records,
scientists have observed a clear pattern of decline,
decade-by-decade.

"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success. A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world."
