And the multi-year ice is shrinking back more rapidly," said Wadhams."It's a concrete example of global change in action."With a larger part of the region now in first year ice, it is clearly more vulnerable. 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."Doctor Martin Sommerkorn, senior climate change adviser for the World Wide Fund for Nature's international Arctic programme, said the survey painted a sombre picture of the ice meltdown, which was happening "faster than we thought"."Remove the Arctic ice cap and we are left with a very different and much warmer world," he said.Loss of sea ice cover will "set in motion powerful climate feedbacks which will have an impact far beyond the Arctic itself," he added."This could lead to flooding affecting one quarter of the world's population, substantial increases in greenhouse gas emission from massive carbon pools and extreme global weather changes.""Today's findings provide yet another urgent call for action to world leaders ahead of the United Nations climate summit in Copenhagen in December to rapidly and effectively curb global greenhouse gas emissions."</blockquote>

R34 with Z-tune bodywork. Who's?

Just browsed through the Sepang Drag Battle Rd. 5 feature thread and saw that very beautiful R34 with Z-tune bodywork.

I would like to complement the owner on such a nice piece of work.

Anyone know who it belongs...
