The floating cap of sea ice on the Arctic Ocean shrank this summer to what is probably its smallest size in a century, continuing a trend toward less summer ice that is hard to explain without attributing it in part to human-caused global warming, various experts on the region said today.
The findings are consistent with recent computer simulations showing that a buildup of smokestack and tailpipe emissions of greenhouse gases could lead to a profoundly transformed Arctic later this century in which much of the once ice-locked ocean is routinely open water in summers.

Two quotes in one paragraph. The only logical conclusion then is that it must have been human caused global warming 100 years ago as well. They didn’t have SUV’s back then, maybe we should see how the models do with increased Boston Bean consumption.
The Times really sees only what it wants to see doesn’t it.
