“We are very quickly about to lose the Arctic summer sea-ice cover, basically independent of what we are doing,” Dirk Notz, a climate scientist at the University of Hamburg in Germany tells theNew York Times’ Raymond Zhong. “We’ve been waiting too long now to do something about cl...

The Arctic could see summer days with practically no sea ice as early as the next couple of years, according to a new study out of CU Boulder. The findings, published March 5 in the journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, suggest that the first ice-free day in the Arctic could occ...
It said that the Arctic could be ice-free in the summer during the nine years of the 2030s-most likely in the year 2034.“Sea ice is frozen ocean water that melts each summer, and then refreezes each winter. The number of summer sea ice in the Arctic has been steadily shrinking over...
As expected, summer Arctic sea-ice disappeared quickly in these simulations. However, some of these models also showed that the ice still disappeared even in some simulations where CO2 emissions were rapidly reduced. “The key point is that we have now reached a point that whether we a...
Peter Wadhams, a scientist, said that the melting trend led to his statement. “Most people expect this year will see a record low in the Arctic’s summer sea-ice cover. Next year or the year after that, I think it will be free of ice in summer and by that I mean the central Arc...
In the summer of 2023 (the warmest year on record, by the way), an international team of researchers published a paper that Arctic sea ice could disappear a full decade earlier than previous projections, and now a new study from the University of Colorado Boulder appears to confirm the bad...
