Absence of Arctic ice affecting weather, global warming | ksl.com

SALT LAKE CITY — Recent dramatic changes in the Arctic will have a significant effect on our weather in Utah. That's the conclusion of a top scientist studying Arctic sea ice....

Professor Hajo Eicken is one of the leading experts. On a speaking visit to Utah, he said recent losses are especially dramatic.

"We had a big drop in 2007, and since we've seen that decline continue," Eicken said.

As the ice shrinks, it warms the climate even more and adds water to the atmosphere. Eicken said there's now strong evidence the disappearing ice has changed precipitation patterns and lowered temperatures in East Asia.

"In the U.S. I think the jury's still out how these processes work," he said.

Some scientists think recent colder, wetter weather in the eastern United States may be related; Eicken believes Utah will be affected.
