This kind of proves the point made earlier: any news concerning there being more polar ice isn't newsworthy, such as the fact the Antarctic melt was the least ever recorded. On the other hand, a group of scientists with a vested interest in proving global warming announce a future projection that there'll be no Arctic ice in 10 years during the summer, and hey, what do you know, it's headline news around the world. Let's hammer home the point:

''With a larger part of the region now first-year ice, it is clearly more vulnerable,'' said Professor Peter Wadhams, part of the Polar Ocean Physics Group at the University of Cambridge, which analysed the data. ''The area is now more likely to become open water each summer, bringing forward the potential date when the summer sea ice will be completely gone.''
You see, the fact that something is "likely" and has "potential" is more newsworthy than something that is an actual, you know, fact. Panic mongering follows:
Martin Sommerkorn of the World Wildlife Fund said the Arctic sea holds a central position in earth's climate system. ''Such a loss of Arctic sea ice cover has recently been assessed to set in motion powerful climate feedbacks which will have an impact far beyond the Arctic,'' he said. ''This could lead to flooding affecting one-quarter of the world's population, substantial increases in greenhouse gas emissions from massive carbon pools and extreme … weather changes.''
You know ... one of those really accurate models (with a zero percent success rate in predicting future climatic activity) has shown there could be a powerful massive substantial extreme impact. Panic everyone! Oh, and don't forget to donate money to the WWF to avert this powerful massive substantial extreme emergency.

Oh, you don't believe me about the vested interests of the team announcing the findings? Aside from the obvious (continued research grants, riding the gravy train at Copenhagen, etc., and lots of juicy high profile media coverage), there's this:

Fresh off the ice! Pen Hadow and Ann Daniels available to speak at your event... Pen and Ann are established speakers on the international circuit with clients that have included M&S, BP, BA, IBM, Vodafone, NatWest and Bank of America
The website doesn't mention the speakers' fee ... so presumably they appeared for all these companies to speak gratis, out of the goodness of their hearts and a firm belief in the righteousness of their cause ... And if you believe that, I've got a second-hand car to sell you.
