Cambridge University’s Centre for Climate Repair has a team in the Arctic busily experimenting with spraying seawater over the ice to try to thicken it in a plan branded "insane" and "dangerous".

According to the FT, Antarctica "faces a catastrophic cascade of extreme environmental events... that will affect climate around the world”. In fact, the extent of Antarctica sea ice is about the same as it was in 1966.

Whisper it quietly, but the Greenland ice sheet may have made a net gain in size in the year to August 2022 after another year of massive winter gains and a short summer of ice loss.

Every year, at roughly the same time, the Arctic hits its ‘maximum sea ice’ as the Antarctic reaches its ‘minimum sea ice’.
And this year’s event was record-breaking.
Temperatures over the Arctic ocean are as much as 50 degrees F (30 Celsius) above normal. It's above freezing in places that are normally 20 below zero in degrees F. Arctic sea ice collapse on the Atlantic side has allowed warm storms to penetrate the central Arctic. This extreme heat is destabilizing the northern hemisphere's atmospheric circulation all the way up to the top of the stratosphere.
Monthly mean global surface temperature since 1996 (source; my annotation; click to enlarge)by Gaius PubliusI know most of us in the current generation of Americans expect the climate to deteriorate, from a livability standpoint, at some reasonably slow rate over the next century or more.
Dr. Michael Mann giving us the latest news about Arctic sea ice (source)by Gaius PubliusWe've covered what's happening in the Arctic before in these pages. For example:
Animated visualization of the startling decline of Arctic sea ice, showing the minimum volume reached every September since 1979, set on a map of New York with a 10km grid to give an idea of scale. As it plays, note the sudden drops in 1992, 1995, 2006 and 2012. Collapses aren't linear (source).by Gaius PubliusI've written before about Arctic sea ice and how the area encompassed by ice at the end of summer is shrinking.
