For those of you who like to follow esoteric science - the USGS has released satellite photographs of Arctic Sea Ice taken during the 2000-2008 time frame. There are several sets of photos that demonstrate clearly that the ice is melting. The net effect on the water cycle is not readily apparent. Might be a good topic to explore at Existence.
On a worrysome note, the ability to monitor the weather using satellite technology depends on the ability of NASA and NOAA to keep the data streams open. According to former Oregon State University professor Jane Lubchenko, Obama's head of NOAA, the agency is playing catch-up. And NASA missed the comet that hot Jupiter last month, causing a Pacific Ocean sized crater. Y'think mebbe we are ready for a now system approach? Read for yourself here.
