7. These are just weasel words

designed to deflect the problem as "well it is too complex and too far off to be something we can figure out" No, the problem is pretty simple, we have pumped way too much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, and the ice will melt. Soon. Sooner than anyone wishes to admit to. And it will cause bigger problems than anyone wishes to admit to. Saying we can't 'decipher' the Arctic is hogwash. We can't predict EXACTLY what will happen, but then we can't predict EXACTLY what will happen next week in the atlantic hurricane season. That doesn't mean that things won't happen, and that we have a pretty good idea of what many of them are.
