Arctic Sea Ice Hits Lowest Peak In 47-Year Satellite Record: US Agency

Arctic sea ice hits lowest peak in satellite record, says U.S. agency

Read: 2 minThis year’s Arctic sea ice peak is the lowest in the 47-year satellite record, according to data released by the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) on Thursday, as the planet continues to swelter under the mounting effects of human-driven climate change.Arctic sea ice forms and expands during the dark, frigid northern winter, reaching its seasonal high point in March. But in recent years, less new ice has formed, and the a…

Record low winter sea ice in the Arctic signals climate change crisis

NASA Sounds Alarm As Sea Ice Reaches Historic Lows Globally

Arctic winter sea ice reached its lowest extent on record at its annual peak on March 22, 2025, while global ice coverage also hit a record low in mid-February. On March 22, 2025, Arctic sea ice reached its lowest winter maximum on record, according to NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) [...]

John Wheeler: Arctic sea ice has reached its smallest maximum winter coverage

FARGO — The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colo., recently announced Arctic Sea ice reached its maximum extent of the winter season on March 22. Covering 5.53 million square miles, this is the smallest maximum extent of Arctic Sea ice in the 47-year history of satellite ice measurement. The Arctic remains an extremely cold place, and it isn't as if Arctic Sea ice is about to go away. However, the shrinkage of Arctic ice co…

Scientists ‘Unexpectedly’ Find The Declining Sea Ice Trend Since 1980 Has Radiatively Cooled The Earth

The alarmist narrative that says disappearing sea ice serves to enhance and worsen global warming may now be discarded. For decades it has been assumed the sea ice concentration (SIC) reduction trend in the the Arctic over the first 30 years of the satellite era (1979-2007, with a flat trend since then) would lead to a precipitous decline in reflective albedo. Consequently, with more open water rather than brightly reflective ice, the Arctic wou…

Global sea ice reaches record low as Earth's poles continue to warm

The planet's sea ice has shrunk to its lowest recorded level in March, a sign of accelerating global warming driven by fossil fuel emissions.Austyn Gaffney reports for The New York Times.In short:NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported that global sea ice extent hit a record low this March, with enough missing ice to cover the U.S. east of the Mississippi River.Loss of sea ice not only reflects rising temperatures but also speeds…
