I just heard the latest news about the Arctic Ocean.   It seems the area of ice in the arctic sea has been reduced to 4.1 million square kilometers.   That occupies an area of less than 30% of the Antarctic Ocean,  which is the worst it has been in 40 years.   Ever since scientists started observing the amount of ice in the ocean in 1979 with the use of satellites,  the amount of ice in the summer has reduced 40%.   The worst situation is expected to happen in 2015 or 2016,  when there will be no ice at all in the summer.   Once the glaciers disappear,  it will cause a chain reaction of events and the days left for humans will be numbered.
