Lack Of Sea Ice In Antarctica Has Climate Scientists Worried
Something Weird Is Going On
“In terms of it being relative to normal, we are even further behind where we were in February,” Meier says. “It’s quite remarkable and there are moments we look and say, ‘Wow, this is strange.’” Will Hobbs, a sea ice scientist at the University of Tasmania, adds. “Unprecedented is a word that gets bandied around a lot, but it doesn’t really get to just how shocking this is. It is very much outside our understanding of this system.
“Overall, the feeling is something big is happening this year, and this is probably associated with the wider decline since 2016. Whether this is anthropogenically driven, and if so, what the driver may be, is still up for debate,” he said.
