Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Extreme Record Low in Winter
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Washington Post
Sea ice levels around Antarctica have reached a record low, raising concerns about a long-term decline due to climate change. The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported that Antarctic sea ice hit an all-time low at the end of summer, and growth remained slow through winter. The annual maximum coverage reached on September 10 was 398,000 square miles lower than the previous record low set in 1986. Declining sea ice in Antarctica could have significant consequences, including increased warming of waters, destabilization of ice and glaciers, and coastal vulnerability. This trend mirrors the ongoing decline in Arctic sea ice, indicating that both polar regions are experiencing the effects of climate change.
Record Low: Antarctic Winter Sea Ice Reaches Extreme Levels
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Reuters
Antarctic sea ice reached a record low this winter, according to the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). This has raised concerns among scientists about the impact of climate change on the southern pole. The decrease in sea ice can have severe consequences for animals like penguins and also contribute to global warming by reducing the amount of sunlight reflected back into space. The extent of Antarctic sea ice peaked on September 10 at 16.96 million square kilometers, the lowest winter maximum since satellite records began in 1979. The NSIDC will release a full analysis next month, but preliminary figures indicate an extreme record-breaking year.
Antarctic Sea-Ice Plummeting to Unprecedented Lows, Alarming Experts
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Business Insider
Sea ice levels in Antarctica have reached a historic low, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The levels are described as "mind-blowing" by a researcher from the NSIDC. This year's record minimums follow similar lows in 2017 and 2022. The decline in sea ice is linked to rising ocean temperatures, with the ice essentially melting from below. Scientists warn that an unstable Antarctica could have far-reaching consequences for global climate, potentially leading to devastating consequences for humanity.
Record-breaking Economy: Ohio's Job Market Soars, Bay Area Slows, Massachusetts Thrives
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Columbus Dispatch
Ohio's economy achieved two records in July, with the unemployment rate dropping to a record low of 3.3%, the lowest since data collection began in 1976, and breaking a 23-year-old record. The state added 12,100 jobs, reaching a total employment of 5,639,200, surpassing the previous record set in May 2000. The job gains were led by the private education and health care sector, while the finance and trade sectors experienced job losses. Ohio's unemployment rate remains below the national rate, and the state has added a total of 89,200 jobs over the past year.
Antarctica's Alarming Ice Loss: A Climate Crisis Unveiled
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Independent
Sea ice formation around Antarctica has reached a record low, with an area the size of Greenland missing. This alarming climate trend is occurring during the southern hemisphere's deep winter, when sea ice typically expands over the open ocean.
Antarctic Sea Ice Plummeting at Unprecedented Rate
Originally Published 2 years ago — by ScienceAlert
Antarctic sea ice has reached its lowest point since official records began 45 years ago, with July's coverage well below normal levels. The extent of winter sea ice is now missing about 2.6 million square kilometers, almost four times the size of Texas. This extreme event surpasses previous record lows and is now 6.4 standard deviations away from the 1991-2020 mean. The cause of this unprecedented sea ice melt is still unclear, but the climate crisis is likely a major factor. Scientists are concerned that further ice melt could trigger positive feedback loops, impacting ocean circulation and coastal ice shelves. Without more research, the future of Antarctic sea ice remains uncertain.
