Arctic Sea Ice (from January 1993 to October 2023)

This year there was a drastic drop in sea ice on a global scale caused by a combination of the now usual major melting during the northern hemisphere spring in the Arctic, and the significant lack of sea ice growth during the southern hemisphere autumn in the Antarctic...

And with our ears we hear him repeating himself, wandering off into mumble sessions and losing track of what he's saying then repeating himself, then tries to act energetic by talking fast but all he does is slur his words into an unrecognizable word salad.

I noticed that the summer sea ice was highly variable while the winter sea ice was surprisingly constant with nowhere near as much variability. Very interesting to watch.

[@j.d.waterhouse4197]

The summer ice seems more variable because at the edges of the polar caps the ice is thinner and melts completely. The ice in the middle is thick enough that FROM SPACE the melting is not as visible.

[@zelandakhniteblade5436]

I think this might be an indicator that the ice layer has gotten thinner in the summer melt regions over the period of the video. There are some quite interesting relationships between extent and depth in various places around the polar regions. Note that increased melting in the Arctic does not contribute to sea level rise, unlike the Antarctic.

Water expands when it freezes which is why it floats. When floating ice melts, it simply continues to occupy the same volume as the water it displaced when it was solid ice. The water level does not change. But if ice sitting on land (Greenland) melts, the water will flow into the ocean and will raise the water level.

Many people commenting notice the summer ice area is getting smaller but winter is always the same. Try to imagine that you have a block of ice that is floating in a wide bucket of water. You put it in the freezer. What will happen? The water in the bucket will start to freeze from the surface. So at one point you will have a thin crust of ice that will get thicker and thicker the more time the bucket is in the freezer. Now you take it out of the freezer to simulate Summer. What you get is the ice getting thinner and thinner and at one point all the winter ice disappears and what is left is the original block of old ice. That block will now melt more and more and if you keep the bucket out of the freezer long enough, it will disappear and you will get the NO ICE state. When you put it in again, ice will again cover the WHOLE surface of the bucket but you will not think it is completely fine because you now know you kept the bucket out too long and your big block of ice is gone.

[@arnoldstrong5553]

Another thing to keep in mind is that ice acts as a mirror for the Sun. So the cover of ice in the winter is irrelevant because it is the polar night. But the amount of surface covered by ice in Summer is very important because the Sun then shines 24/7.

[@crackheadbiden3273]

You aren’t aware that we are coming out of a mini ice age that ended in the late 18,00’s? That is when the glaciers started melting and it’s well documented, we are nowhere near historical temps yet.

[@nongovernment3606]

Keep in mind that the planet has been through many inter glacial periods that were warmer than it is today. as someone mentioned in the comments they are finding artifacts that have been buried since the little ice age that started 1100 ad and lasted until around the American Civil war in the 1850s The problem is not the ice melting because that is a good thing. less ice means more land and more water. without the ice on the land it will rise up higher because of isostatic rebound giving more land spaces than what we will loose from rising oceans. Yes earth will get +8 degrees F hotter but that will make for more evaporation and more rainfall. I do not know why the green parties push the ice age because every time we go into an ice age it comes with a great loss of life. Not just human life but plant animal and marine life too. Every ice age is dry and cold you have a famine issue and diseases and plagues because if there is less food means you make more risks eating bad/spoiled food and with less food your immune system does not work 100%. On top of that you have more war over territories because people have less food because Winter in effected areas are 3x longer and summers are 3x shorter. The real problem that we need to focus on is the pollution of the water. That is a real problem we dump our trash and our poo into the oceans hoping they just go away. We need to find a way to clean up after ourselves not try to start another ice age, The planet will choose when that will happen without our help. Also keep in mind that the Earth was without ice a whole lot longer than it has been covered with ice. if you take all the times Earth had glaciers since it had formed that we have discovered. The Huronian: glaciation from 2.45 billion years ago that lasted 230 million years, The Cryogenian: 720 mya lasted 75 million years, The Ordovician glaciation, 440 mya but had cycles like todays lasting 1 to 5 million years between both cycle. This one has been studied extensively as it is thought to be associated with one of the 5 major mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic. ( The Cambrian world was bracketed between two ice ages, one during the late Proterozoic and the other during the Ordovician. During these ice ages, the decrease in global temperature led to mass extinctions. Cooler conditions eliminated many warm water species, and glaciation lowered global sea level) The Karoo ice age the Carboniferous-Permian glaciation is thought to have spanned from the Mississipian starting around 360 mya lasting 70 million years Thought to have ended the Permian that brought in the Dinochickens. Finally the current one that has been going after the extinction event that killed the dinochickens (that was after 165 million years of tropical warm weather.) basically starting around 35 mya during the early Oligocene. by my calculation that means the Earth has been covered in ice a total of 415 million years total out of just the 3.7 billion years that there has just been life on the planet. That is not taking in the full age of the planet and its forming and collision to get the moon. So I hope that you can see that ice ages are not a good thing as they often bring extinctions as a party gift.

[@nongovernment3606]

I did not want to edit my last part as this is not relevant to what I wrote but also take into thought that the area in the map is the north pole and is just ice on the water and not the actual Glaciation that occurs on land that can get 2 to 4 miles thick. As far as I am aware of since the 1940s the US and Russian subs have been mapping and cutting under the north pole ice caps for decades and even more so after the invention of the Nuclear class subs. the actual Glaciation is on Antarctica and Greenland and on mountain ranges in Argentina, Chile, Canada, Alaska, Mountain glaciers are widespread, especially in the Andes, the Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains, the Caucasus, Scandinavian mountains, and the Alps.

As Upton Sinclair put it It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it. Naomi Klein does an outstanding job exploring this theme in her recent book Doppelgänger

[@j.d.waterhouse4197]

Commenters are dismissing what is readily apparent if you spend time actually LOOKING from beginning to end (most probable didn't even watch the whole thing) - ice levels ARE in fact diminishing, that winter increases little by little are not completely making up for summer loss, and that the ice is thinning out.

If it is so, why in the summer sea level isn't few meters higher than in winter? Such many ice shield melted should bring some rise of sea level, isnt it?

Does your coke overflow when the ice in the glass melts?

[@pughoneycutt1986]

So ice melts in the summer and freezes in the winter. I think I learned that at about 2yrs old. The first man to go to both the south pole and the north pole was a German and he had to fly over the north pole in the Graf zeppelin because the ice was too thin to support a dog sled

What are you talking about? If the earth gets warmer there will be MORE natural life not less. Cold is what kills life, not warmth, especially when we’re talking about just +2C of increase over several hundred years. Just look how abundant life is in the tropics compared to how scarce it is in the Arctic tundra!

@@Jc-ms5vv - Sure, virtually all extinctions have been caused by things we have no control over such as meteor impacts and volcanoes. Also, the massive swings of temperature that cause the ice ages are entirely natural - nothing to do with man.

[@TalonID]

Sea Ice surface area is only part of the story. Volume of ice is the true barometer - Total volume of ice (North & South poles). My guess, we've not lost any volume of ice in this same time period as Antartica has picked up ice.

[@nyoodmono4681]

"There is more snowfall due to global warming" is what they will say to you. But you are right. In fact it is impossible to melt the ice on Greenland or Antarctica. Even though the poles warm double as fast, we would need an insane ammount of warming to actually melt the true ice caps. I even would go that far that the ice caps control the climate. When Antarctica left the south pole, the hot mesozoic began. When Antarctica went back to the pole, our ice age began. Snow can not accumulate to large ice caps on the open sea.

Does reinforce the realization that you can’t base an assessment on instantaneous data, like a snapshot. To be balanced an assessment must be based on long term or historical data.

[@joeshumo9457]

This isn’t even long term though, it’s just a blink in geological terms. The earth is amazingly stable and takes deep time to make any significant changes that brings us out of balance. The doomsday climate alarmists death cult members hate real data. It’s cherry picked and manipulated according to their agenda or nothing for them.

[@kyleoneill9273]

Don't worry if it all melts sea level will drop you can demonstrate this with a glass of ice water make sure it's full to the rim and that the ice is sticking up above the rim of the glass and let sit until the ice is melted you will see that the water lever is lower than the rim of the glass

[@kirklaird8345]

No. That isn't how it works. Try it. Except for some evaporation the water level in the glass will remain exactly the same.

We've had satellite data since the 60's but they only show from 1993 forward. What after they trying to hide?
