I love how these things always refer to 'scientists'. What kind of scientists? Meteorologists? Climatologists? Arctic ecologists? Pharmacists? Nuclear physicists?

We are never provided with the pertinent information. I'm also getting sick of articles that say scientists 'have proven' something. Science has never proven anything.

Not saying the report isn't valid, but we need a whole hell of a lot more information than is provided at the link before we can start to differentiate this from anything else that's out there.

You can look at the abstract for the original study here.
