But it is disappointing that they pushed through an amendment to Motion 75 implying that delaying climate action may be a viable option - it clearly is not.

Arctic sea ice grows and shrinks during the year (seasonal cycle). It reaches its annual minimum extent at the end of every summer (early-mid September).
Currently, 2024's sea ice extent is already below the minimums from the 1980, 1990, and 2000 decadal averages [JAXA data]
