Recent research indicates Antarctica's sea ice has undergone an abrupt critical transition, with scientists attributing this to a regime shift. Unlike last year, current weather conditions have led to an earlier increase in Antarctic sea ice extent after reaching the annual minimum. In contrast, Arctic sea ice extent has been consistently higher this year compared to eighteen years ago, despite the past decade being the hottest on record. Models now suggest a significant reversal in the trend of Arctic sea ice speed.

Arctic sea ice extent has been higher than eighteen years ago, every day this year. Experts say the past ten years have been the hottest ever, but the ice seems to have a different opinion. #ClimateScam https://t.co/DkKcKXv3aM https://t.co/0clHkZ0PRE

“Scientists said another exceptionally low year was further evidence of a ‘regime shift,’ with new research indicating the continent’s sea ice has undergone an ‘abrupt critical transition.’” https://t.co/Q00AN6rk1E
