Straight From the Horses Mouth

<blockquote> "The truth is that the treat we face is not an abstract concern for the future.it is already upon us and its effects are being felt worldwide, right now.  Scientists project that the article will be ice-free in the summer of 2013, not in 2050, but four years from now"

Ice in the article region still existed in 2013 ... In fact there was MORE there than in 2012!

OOOOORRRRRRRR ....it could be ...

NATURAL for the Earth to cycle through changes in weather, cold times, warm times -- something more than just the changing of seasons 

Read some history ... You might be surprised at how many times the weather has shifted through out time.  

Is pollution an issue? Yes ... BUT - and it's a big but - the MAJORITY OF IT - say 95% - is coming from OTHER COUNTRIES, not the USA ...

Countries sch as

China

India

Japan

Iran

Russia

Africa, various countries there

Pakistan

Etc, etc etc 

The ONLY continent we can say does NOT cause pollution is Antartica ... But even that will change as more and more people go there ... Other than from the USA, since we are afraid to even wipe our butts after BMimg these days ...
