The authors project that the Arctic may be sea-ice-free in September by 2030–2050 under all emission scenarios. This contrasts with previous assessments discussed in the sixth assessment report ...

The claim: April and May data shows Arctic sea ice isn't declining. A Facebook post links to an article with a graph that purportedly shows Arctic sea ice extent data for mid-April through mid-May ...

For decades, scientists believed the Arctic Ocean was sealed under a massive slab of ice during the coldest ice ages — but new research proves otherwise. Sediment samples from the seafloor, paired ...

The Arctic reaches its maximum sea ice in March each year and then starts a six-month melt season. The National Snow and Ice Data Center said the peak measurement taken Saturday was 5.53 million ...

The Arctic is the early warning system for climate change and the loss of sea ice is a clear sign it’s in trouble, scientists say. It should be reaching its annual maximum levels of ice at this ...

Typically, sometime in March every year at the end of the long Arctic winter, the maximum of Arctic sea ice extent is reached. Slowly through spring, then accelerating through summer, most of that ...

The Arctic could be free of sea ice roughly a decade earlier than projected, scientists warn – another clear sign the climate crisis is happening faster than expected as the world continues to ...

Arctic sea ice had its weakest winter buildup since record-keeping began 47 years ago, a symptom of climate change that will have repercussions globally, scientists said Thursday.

Arctic sea ice’s biggest year since record-keeping began was 1979, at 6.42 million square miles (16.64 million square kilometers). That means since satellites began tracking it, ...
