"Unprecedented" warming and "exceptionally low levels" of sea ice are bringing rapid, dramatic and disruptive changes to the Arctic.
"Unprecedented" warming and"exceptionally low levels" of sea ice are bringing rapid, dramatic and disruptive changes to the Arctic, according to a new report released Tuesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration .
Especially troubling is that the Arctic is warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the planet: In fact, Arctic air temperatures were some 3.4 degrees above average in 2019, and were the second-warmest since records began in 1900. The warmer water has caused marine species to move farther north, the report said, impacting vital commercial fisheries and indigenous subsistence harvests.
“We look for the return of the sea ice every fall season," they wrote. "The ice provides access to seals, whales, walrus, fish, crabs and other marine life for our subsistence harvests.”
