Arctic summer sea ice could completely disappear as early as 2035
By the time a toddler graduates from high school, summer sea ice in the high North could be a thing of the past and that's just the tip of the iceberg as they say.
If one were to design a weather pattern that’s most efficient at ridding the Arctic of its increasingly fragile ice cover during the region’s summer melt season, it would look like what occurred earlier this summer — clear skies, above-average air temperatures, a high-pressure system across the Central Arctic, and an ongoing heat wave and wildfires in Siberia.
A recent study concluded that the unusual warmth in Siberia could not have happened in the absence of human-caused global warming.
Sea ice loss accelerated in early- to mid-July, bringing sea ice extent — which measures the area of ocean where there’s some ice cover, down to record-low levels for this time of the year.
As of Saturday, the Arctic as a region had an ice extent that was about 193,000 square miles below the previous record low for the date, using data from the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency.
In other words, the difference between the sea ice extent on July 18, 2020, and the previous record low for the same date is equivalent to the states of Colorado and Oklahoma combined.

Anyone who's been following this knows that 2012 was an anomalous year and scientist were predicting an ice free arctic right around the corner due to it... When it didn't happen warming deniers quickly pointed it out and called the scientist crazy fear mongers. Now a few short years later the Ice Melt for 2020 is trending well below 2012 and a Ice Free Summer Sea in the Arctic is a guarantee,,, wouldn't you know it, everybody is to worried about catching a cold to take notice.
