Glaciologist Comments Included In Story On Arctic Ice

Comments from glaciologist Gordon Hamilton of UMaine’s Climate Change Institute were included in a Voice of America story about a report released Wednesday that says Arctic ice is melting at a much faster rate than previously thought. Hamilton said the previous estimate for sea level rise is a very large underestimate and it is probably double the upper end of the estimate.
