Mark Serreze Quotations

September 2005 will set a new record minimum in the amount of Arctic sea ice cover.

What you're starting to see is the greenhouse effect starting to emerge.

We keep looking for the ice to recover, but it isn't. Unless conditions turn unusually cold this spring and summer, we may be looking at sea ice losses in 2006 that will rival what we saw in 2005.

We've put a hit on the system and we are in the midst of a grand global experiment. We will have to live with the outcome.

The sea ice was a record minimum in the satellite era since 1979 and probably in the last century. Compared to where it should have been, you've lost an area roughly twice the size of Texas.

Something has fundamentally changed here, and the best answer is warming.

It's increasingly difficult to argue against the notion that at least part of what we are seeing in the Arctic, in terms of sea ice, in terms of warming temperatures ... is due to the greenhouse effect.

The changes we've seen in the Arctic over the past few decades are nothing short of remarkable.
