For decades, an oceaninc and atmospheric pattern known as arctic oscillation has been stuck in a phase that increases warming over parts of the Arctic. In recent years, the pattern has shifted to a more neutral state, "yet the Arctic is still warming and we're still losing sea ice," said Mark Serreze, a researcher with the National Snow and Ice Date Center in Colorado, who contributed to the report.
"This is one of the pieces of evidence that we're starting to see more clearly the effects of greenhouse warming," he said.

Since this is from a wire service, it has obviously been widely circulated. A geologist friend offered her insight into all of this when she said that one of the advantages of being a geologist is that she is able to take a long term look at the problem. A very long look! She sees humanity killing itself off, but the world will go on just as it has through other catastrophic events. She sees that as the solution to a people created problem that people will never attempt to cure.
This thread is evidence of the unwillingness to correct. Just deny, deny, deny. Even here in Alaska where global warming is seen clearly year to year, people deny it or say it is just part of the natural cycle. The quotation cited above seems to say maybe it's not.
