12. 'Huge amounts are escaping'; in October and November when the Ice is just reforming, ...

After a mild summer of melt as per recent trends, this moves toward confirming what is happening far below the water, is systemic, not seasonal. As if to put some punctuation, the Alamo project infers the problem, systemic or not, manifests itself on land as well.

When will be the next cascade of arctic sea ice, 2014 or 2015? I can't be long.

It will be sad to view this unique event, in our specie's limited lifetime.
