Full feedArctic sea ice redux
The Arctic Meltdown expedition ended a month ago already, but this hasn't stopped me from still obsessing over Arctic sea ice and how it's been changing.
The news wasn't good this summer, and still isn't today.
First of all, the results of the study of the sea ice minimum that occurred in September are a bit depressing. Clearly, multi-year sea ice is disappearing, leaving space open for younger ice, more likely to melt the next year.
In addition, the latest results from October show that the sea ice is recovering much slower than in previous years. It is now at the second lowest extent on record for October, barely above the freaky low record from 2007.
I start my days with a comparison of the sea ice extent today and thirty years ago. It doesn't look pretty.
From Africa to the Arctic, the world is feeling the effects of climate change. There is no more time for discussions, we need action.
