Examining 35 years of sea ice data, Parkinson has shown that increases around Antarctica do not make up for the accelerated Arctic sea ice loss of the last decades. I wouldn’t hold my breath for there being an ice free Arctic anytime soon, if I were you. June 6, 2019 by Robert. Remnants of a formerly more extensive deposit composed of dry ice form what is known as the south polar residual cap. This contrasts with the Arctic minimum (September) and maximum (March). Sea ice has diminished in almost all regions of the Arctic, whereas the sea ice increases in the Antarctic are less widespread geographically. Giant icebergs are surrounded by ice floe drift in Vincennes Bay, Antarctica. Here's what she had to say: Global sea ice coverage has continued its overall downward trend since the results described earlier through 2015. While Antarctica's sea ice is growing somewhat, the Arctic and the … National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) published a new study showing that Antarctica’s ice sheet has been thickening for at least a thousand years from extra snowfall, and the south pole actually increased in mass from 1992 to 2008. The loss rate during the satellite era has more than doubled, from 8,300 square miles per year from 1979–1996, to 19,500 square miles per year from 1996–2013.

When sea ice coverage is reduced, less sunlight is reflected back into space and more is trapped in the atmosphere, ocean, and land. Journal of Climate, 27, 9377–9382. Climate Change Emergency is making a joke out of science and eroding people’s confidence in it. * * * This is why today it’s more important than ever to keep the focus on the real data and not the hysterical headlines that currently dominate the hype-filled media. An ice cap is one technical category of glacial ice on land, not a catch-all term for polar sea ice and glaciers.. KEY TAKE AWAY Human-induced warming at the poles has caused a reduction in sea ice extent, notably in the Arctic, and a continuous shrinking of glaciers on land. "The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff," Gore said in 2007 when he was accepting the Nobel Peace Prize for his climate change efforts. However, this was partly balanced by slower-than-average ice loss in the Barents Sea. Arctic sea ice volume growing, not shrinking! Of course it's been a hoax. Although sea ice cover expanded in most of the Southern Ocean between 1979 and 2013, it decreased substantially in the Bellingshausen and Amundsen seas. Annual losses were larger than the states of Vermont and New Hampshire combined. At the end of May, Arctic sea ice daily extent stood at second lowest in the 40-year satellite record.”. Furthermore, the global sea ice loss has accelerated. Antarctic sea ice gains are too small to cancel out Arctic losses. Updated data from NASA satellite instruments reveal the Earth’s polar ice caps have not receded at all since the satellite instruments began measuring the ice caps in … It seems “We” can’t trust our government since, it seems, that most of the data comes from: National Snow and Ice Data Center, NOAA, and NASA! About 50 units of special equipment took to the streets for two days to clean up the aftermath. When temperatures warm over time and more sea ice melts, fewer bright surfaces reflect sunlight back into space. Its bright surface reflects sunlight back into space. A recent study by NASA found that sea ice is growing faster during the winter months today than it did decades ago. However, upon closer inspection it seems that the melting of the Ice Cap is uneven along its perimeter. Despite Antarctic Gains, Global Sea Ice Is Shrinking, Global Sea Ice Coverage from Satellite Data: Annual Cycle and 35-Yr Trends, Antarctic winter sea ice extent sets new record in 2014, 2014 Arctic Report Card: Visual Highlights, Polar Opposites: the Arctic and Antarctic, Annual forecast challenge and other research highlight the complexity of sea ice prediction, As the North Slope of Alaska warms, greenhouse gases have nowhere to go but up, Climate impacts on walruses may be masked by influence of hunting pressure, October 2020: “Only” the fourth-warmest October on record. ... (Related: "Why Antarctic Sea Ice Is Growing in a Warmer World.") Data source: Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI). Wrong. The sea ice cover is one of the key components of the polar climate system. Parkinson also found that the annual cycle of global ice extent is more in line with the annual cycle of Antarctic ice than Arctic ice. Updated NASA satellite data show the polar ice caps remained at approximately their 1979 extent until the middle of the last decade. - Alan Caruba, Temperatures warmer than today during most of the past 10,000 years. To quantify whether ice sheets are growing or shrinking, scientists measure changes in surface height with satellite altimeters. The team stumbled upon two key parts of its discovery by accident. Scientists call it "residual" because it remains after the much larger seasonal cap disappears each summer. Probably paid for by Trump. Bullshit climate denier clickbait. It has been a focus of attention in recent years, largely because of a strong decrease in the Arctic sea ice cover and modeling results that indicate that global warming could be amplified in the Arctic on account of ice-albedo feedback. The diagram above illustrates a relationship between declining sea ice and rising ocean temperatures. (2014) Global Sea Ice Coverage from Satellite Data: Annual Cycle and 35-Yr Trends. picking individual data points to make a wrong impression instead of looking at the overall trend.
