One report believes that evidence is pointing towards a total disappearance of the ice sheet by the summer of 2030, and the other report believes that a 40% drop off will occur by 2050.

- It's depressing how you can try so hard to make the world a better place, and yet it still seems to be falling apart. Try harder!

The first report, released by the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC), represent the data at the end of the melt season, or summer. According to the report, released yearly at this time, the 2007 levels of ice in the Arctic Ocean are lower than ever before.
Dr Mark Serreze, an Arctic specialist at the Boulder University of Colorado National Snow and Ice Data Center, says that "Itâ€s amazing. Itâ€s simply fallen off a cliff and weâ€re still losing ice.""
