Although that seems to be advancing more rapidly than first predicted (as evidenced by Russian ships transiting the now opened Northeast Passage). My concern is: given the current Rate of Loss what is the likely loss of orbital stability are we likely to see assuming maximum loss; and what catastrophic damage to the planet is theoretically possible? Maybe, Adios Amigos? I really do not know how great the impact on our planet might be following the loss of the Artic Ice Cap!
