US EditionScientists issue urgent warning after Arctic hits alarming milestone: 'It doesn't bode well for the future'
- Arctic sea ice has reached the lowest peak in over 40 years, measuring 14.3 million square kilometers, according to the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center.
- Linette Boisvert, an ice scientist at NASA, stated, "We're going to come into this next summer season with less ice to begin with. It doesn't bode well for the future."
- Alexandra Jahn from the University of Colorado Boulder emphasized that maintaining sea ice levels requires reducing carbon in the atmosphere.
- Human activities, such as deforestation and gas-powered vehicles, continue to contribute to the Earth's overheating, affecting the Arctic climate significantly.

Scientists test pumping seawater to slow Arctic ice loss, but questions remain
Sea ice engineers are using hydrogen-powered pumps to thicken Arctic ice, but the effort is raising concerns about effectiveness, environmental risk, and Indigenous consent.Matilda Hay reports for Grist.In short:The nonprofit Real Ice is testing a method that pumps seawater onto existing ice to boost winter freezing, with early data suggesting it could significantly thicken ice and potentially slow summer melt.Critics warn the approach may not s…
Scientists issue urgent warning after Arctic hits alarming milestone: 'It doesn't bode well for the future'
Arctic sea ice has hit a disturbing milestone that has scientists concerned about the planet's future, Phys.org reported. This year's Arctic ice peak was the lowest it's been in over four decades of satellite monitoring, according to data from the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center. The shrinking ice is yet another indicator of Earth's ongoing overheating crisis. What's happening? The maximum sea ice level for 2025 peaked March 22, measurin…
