It's official, 2025 recorded the second lowest sea-ice extent maximum on record, with only 2024 seeing a lower maximum. And 2016 holds third place, with a maximum about 17,000 km² more than 2025.

Will 2026 see a new record low maximum? Stay tuned!

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today:

"Despite great progress in clean energy development (solar, wind, geothermal), global warming has accelerated, as the growth rate of the human-made climate forcing is increasing, not declining (Fig. 1)."

The Earth energy imbalance (EEI) is best looked at over longer periods, as short-term impacts from ENSO, volcanoes, solar cycle, cloud cover and aerosols can create a lot of volatility.

Here is a graph showing the 36-month running average for the EEI, currently at 11.2 HpS.

August CO2 and methane data at NOAA just dropped.

The 3-year running average for the rate of CO2 growth continues to increase (now at 7.78 ppm per 3 years), and is nearing an all-time high.

Maybe if we all just hope a bit more, I'm sure that will change everything.
