Too late to save arctic sea ice in the summer, study finds

The Arctic could see all of its summer sea ice disappear significantly earlier than expected despite humanity’s efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new paper published in the journal, Nature.

The research concludes that those northern waters could be completely free to sail across for entire months at a time as early as 2030.

Heather Yourex-West explains the consequences of the vanishing ice.

The media bone's connected to the money bone. The money bone's connected to the government bone. The governmentbone's connected to the tax bone. And the backbone just ain't there.

I have never heard as ridiculous a closing line on a climate-emergency video as this one here?!?
Who writes this stuff?!?
Professor-Marty.

Ipcc says in its latest report that arctic ice is growing not shrinking. Winter maximum is approximately the same as fifty years ago. Satellite images clearly show this

Why don't we stop the 114 huge ice breaker ships from breaking up the ice for shipping lanes and stop them from building the new fleet of ice breaking ships.

Data from NOAA (2022 Arctic Report Card) show winter (March) ice coverage has hardly changed since '79, and that the summer (September) coverage trend had stopped declining since 2007. In September 2023, sea ice reached a minimum extent of 4.87 million square kilometers in the Arctic. This is higher than the extent in 2007, which means the Arctic summer sea ice trend is zero for the past 16 years. How inconvenient!

We have passed the point of no return on alot of things, but we still want people to change their ways. Too many lives at stake to keep ignoring it

[Picklemedia]

@Global News can you please do a video on how much carbon Canada produces compared to how much it is sequester's? Thanks

[BB-cfgx]

Have a look at the current arctic ice in the Danish Meteorological Institute.

THE SKY IS FALLING!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!
🤦🏼‍♀️ FFS...

[boblee]

Yup it’s summer. Then it freezes up again come winter. And the cycle continues

[Moonpaperr]

I hate this so much... I feel so helpless. What can we do?!!! voting is CLEARLY NOT DOING ANYTHING!!!

Crazy its almost like we are seeing the end of an ice age. One thing that always gives me pause is that climatologists can't seem to determine local weather 3 days from now yet, we are led to believe that they have figured out, beyond any shadow of doubt, the weather at a global/millennial level and all the consequences that implies.

Lastly, isn't it funny that there are almost no dissenting opinions regarding global warming? No matter the science, no matter the questions or whether a theory has been widely accepted, there is and has always been a group of scientists, what some might call outsiders, who disagree with the prevailing beliefs of the day. These outsiders, though often mocked by their academic peers, have often been provider's of the scepticism thats required to keep the whole peer review system honest. They were so vital then as now, so that when one side begins to prophesize about, I don't know let's say the end of the world, the other side would be there checking their models, maths and or questioning the legitimacy of their degrees'. My point is there isn't really any dissenting opinions about global warming anymore. The reason being that everyone who has dared to question or speak against it has basically been black listed, stripped of funding, scientific journals will not publish them the message is join the political movement or have your career shredded. Remember covid Remember when it was basically illegal to question vaccination mandates all opposition was squashed and the money kept spending and rolling in, to the right people that is. I mention this as there seems to be a few parallels between the two.

As regards the melting of Arctic Ice, the records nearly always seem to start in 1979. Strange that, considering it was a year of record extent for Arctic Ice. Even so, data from NOAA (2022 Arctic Report Card) show winter (March) ice coverage has hardly changed since '79, and that the summer (September) coverage trend had stopped declining since 2007. How inconvenient! Didn't someone predict in 2007 Arctic ice free by 2010, or 2015, or 2013, or in 5 years? Or was it in 2008 the Arctic ice sheet would melt away. Also predicted in 2008 North Pole ice free in ... 2008 ... or in 10 years. 2009 prediction: Arctic ice free in 2014. 2012 prediction: snow will be gone by 2020. And 2013 star prediction: Methane catastrophe in 2 years because of ice free Arctic. 2018 prediction: zero chance of permanent ice in Arctic by 2022. The Arctic Ice is still there, and it's stopped shrinking.
If you consider global sea ice cover, it was basically flat from 1981 to 2008, rose until 2010, stayed level until 2015, dropped until 2018, and then rebounded almost all the way back to the 1990-2000 average. Nobody predicted theses changes, nor can they explain them. The changes have no relationship to the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
The climate crisis/emergency/apocalypse is make-believe.
Multiyear ice is an unproductive habitat as far as marine organisms are concerned: first year (seasonal) ice over continental shelves is the most productive and this is where the vast majority of polar bears, seals, fish, whales, and sea birds are found. Therefore the decline of extremely thick multiyear ice (>4 years old) could be seen as an unconcerning development with regards to the wildlife in the region, especially since 2-3 year old ice - that can be used as a resting/hunting platform for seals and polar bears - hasn't declined in summer since 2007. In fact, biologically, the Arctic is in good shape with all its regions showing a positive trend in primary productivity over an extended period (2003-2022). This has resulted in more food for seals, walruses, bowhead whales and polar bears, which are hence maintaining or expanding their populations.
"Greenland ice sheet mass balance from 1840 through next week." (Mankoff et al., 2021). If you examine Fig.2 on page 5, you will see there would be no correlation with the exponential increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (280ppm to 420ppm) and the change in the annual Mass Balance Sum shown in the paper. Indeed there have been periods of increasing mass of the Greenland ice cap in the 1940's, 70's, 80's and 90's. (Remember CO2 was rising all the time.)
More recently Greenland Total Ice Mass Balance rate of loss reached its maximum in 2012 but the trend rate of loss has been diminishing ever since. That's while we've added 500 million tonnes of CO2 to the atmosphere (14% of total human emissions). The average annual loss is 0.005% of the total mass. That's neglible. Come back in 20, 000 years.
There's no "death spiral" in the region as some people have reported. In fact, there is, I think, no evidence of any crisis/emergency. That is silly nonsense designed to scare people.

[jededge]

it took 300 million years to form Arctic ice , were we going to fix this ever ? if only we had used the frozen bio triospheare wengle method we would all be safe that was another method we completely missed

[danwatson]

Can you do a video explaining how, like a drink with ice in it, the northern hemisphere will reach unliveable temperatures mere months after our first blue ocean event?

[worldpeaceandprayerday]

How??? What needs to be done to protect what’s left? Who can transform this? The Government? All world Governments? Step up!

[callers]

I love how Global has a banner saying climate change is mainly due to human action… 🤦‍♂️

[danielobrien]

Sorry to hear about this, but we can’t give up. We gotta protect the environment no matter what and I’ve heard there might be ways to refreeze the Arctic from other articles

[what]

how to confine and control population and make

[danielbeckstedt]

The Arctic Sea cap has been growing. It was at its largest in 2021.
