Ryan Mancini reports on a world boogeying its way to doomsday:
“This record low maximum gives a head start to the spring and summer melt season,” NSIDC senior research scientist Walt Meier said in the center’s report. “One or two record low years don’t necessarily mean much by themselves, but in the context of the significant downward trend that we’ve observed since 1979, it reinforces the dramatic change to Arctic sea ice throughout all seasons.”
More sea ice would take in heat energy released by the sun and help keep temperatures across the globe in check. Less sea ice means more heat energy enters the oceans and affects wildlife like polar bears and seals that rely on the sea ice. The sea’s absorption of this heat from the sun will accelerate global heating, CNN reported. Jennifer Francis, a senior scientist at Woodwell Climate Research Center, told the outlet that the sea ice loss “is yet another symptom indicating the Earth’s climate is in big trouble.” [emphasis added]
