Arctic Ice Melt Is Slowing Down, but Climate Change Could Soon Come Back Biting
Arctic sea ice melt slowed by 55-63% over the past 20 years due to natural climate variability, but total ice remains 33% lower than nearly 50 years ago, researchers say.

Arctic ice melt is slowing down, but climate change could soon come back biting
A new study highlights a minimal decline in Arctic sea ice, noting that losses have slowed significantly over the past two decades. Researchers report a "robust" pause across multiple data sets, metrics, and seasons. While notable, the trend isn't unusual and could "plausibly" persist for the next five to ten...Read Entire Article
Arctic ice melt has slowed despite record heat. Is that a good sign?
The melting of Arctic ice has been one of the most profound ripple effects from climate change, an impact often depicted with images of a lone polar bear stranded on a dwindling piece of sea ice. Now, a new study has found that ice has been melting more slowly over the past two decades across all seasons - even under a record-hot atmosphere.
The Arctic fascinates as much as it worries. A true barometer of global warming, this region has been imposed as a major theatre of climate change. In recent years, however, satellite observations suggest an unexpected slowdown in ice retreat. This apparent respite feeds debate, but does not change the background trajectory. Behind this misleading pause, the melting of the Arctic ice pack may well be preparing to cross a new threshold. Two decad…
Temporary Slowdown In Melting Of Arctic Sea Ice - New Study
Eddie Gonzales Jr. – MessageToEagle.com – Arctic sea ice has been melting at a slower rate for the past 20 years, despite human-induced global warming. This comes at a time of record warming, debates about whether global warming is accelerating and decades of enhanced Arctic warming relative to the rest of the globe. Arctic sea […]
