Minimum Sea Ice Extent in the Arctic
the 10 lowest ice extents have all been recorded since 2007.
Each year, Greenland loses 270 billion tons of ice as the planet warms. New research shows that some of the water may be trapped in the ice sheet, which could change how scientists think about global sea levels.
In the winter of 2018, the Arctic Ocean hit a record low for ice older than five years.
Scientists say that summers in the Arctic may be ice-free in the future.

Artic Sea Ice has dropped
and lowest point on record in 2012.
Sea ice has been reducing for decades, with melting accelerating since the early 2000s,
according to the UK Parliament's Environmental Audit Committee.
The Arctic Ocean may be ice-free in the summer as soon as the 2050s, unless emissions are reduced, the committee has said.
The extent of Arctic sea ice in 2019 was tied with 2007 and 2016 as the second lowest on record. The maximum extent, reached in March 2019, was tied with 2007 as the seventh lowest in the 40-year satellite record.

Around the globe, summer evening temperatures have risen at nearly twice the rate of daytime temperatures,
putting older people, the sick, and young children at greater risk during heat waves.

An analysis concluded that Earth’s oceans are heating up 40 percent faster on average than a United Nations panel estimated five years ago,
a finding with dire implications for climate change.

These maps from 2012 show coastal and low-lying areas that would be permanently flooded, without engineered protection, with a five-foot sea level rises over the current level. Percentages are the portion of dry, habitable land within the city limits of places listed that would be permanently submerged.
