Arctic sea ice this week at 10.1 k km³. Daily volume at 10.1 & its 10-yr average at 13.6. This was also an All-Time Low for the latter. The annual avg approaching 12,900 km³.
⚠️ 11% loss/decade or 1600 km³ from the COP21 (Paris) base of 15000 km³ reading from the 10-yr avg graph

Just Have a Think drinking the New Ice Age Kool-Aid.

PS: Is David Borlace hiding over there at BlueSky? I think I can see why 😅

And with fresh August satellite data added to the s-sheets, Antarctica is now slated to lose *0 cm* thickness in 2025. Greenland is still at 4 cm.
Source is GRACE-FO via NASA, 2025 estimates with 4 more months to go.

New data since August have pushed the 2025 estimate down again, such that now 2025 looks like only the 2nd biggest loser of the 2020s decade.
Latest satellite data indicate a loss of 1492 km3 during 2025, 2nd highest this decade. Daily loss is now 2.9 Gt/day for the polar areas.

Arctic sea ice this week at 7.8 k km³. This week saw daily sea ice volume at 7.8 & its 12-year average at 13.9. This was also an All-Time Low for the latter. The annual average is approaching 12,900 km³. Odds are, COP 30 in the Amazon tomorrow will change absolutely nothing.

Lost something this summer? Latest satellite data indicate an ice loss of 1536 km3 during 2025, barely highest this decade. Daily loss is now 3.1 Gt/day for the polar areas, 5.5 Gt per day when mountain glaciers are included.

Antarctica now slated to lose *0 cm* thickness in 2025. Greenland is down to 4 cm.
As July data arrives from GRACE-FO via NASA, 2025 estimates for Antarctica and Greenland are down from 1 cm loss to 0, and 5 to 4 cm, respectively.

Earth’s Polar Icecaps are now losing 2.8 Gt/d. That’s 2.8 km³ of ice every day annualised, or every day on average over the past year.
This is the biggest loss so far this decade, not sure about the 2010s and earlier. Source: Grace-FO (NASA) + Piomas (UW)
