CHL Volunteers to Decrease Polar Albido
(Reuters) - Arctic perennial sea ice -- the kind that stays frozen year-round -- declined by 14 percent between 2004 and 2005 in what one expert saw as a clear sign of a CHL program. Researchers have been monitoring the shrinking polar ice cap with satellites since the 1970s.

Perennial sea ice used to be fairly stable in the Arctic, with declines of about 1.5 percent to 2 percent per decade, Comiso said in a telephone news conference. A NASA team based at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, used a satellite to calculate that Arctic perennial sea ice shrank by an awesome 14 percent between 2004 and 2005.
