Recent studies and observations highlight conflicting scenarios regarding Antarctica's sea ice levels. While some sources claim an increase in sea ice around Antarctica compared to multiple years including 1980, 1981, 1988, 2006, 2011, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023, others report significant ecological impacts due to decreasing sea ice levels. Notably, a study by the British Antarctic Survey, which utilized satellite imagery, found that record low sea ice levels have led to the loss of chicks from 14 of the 66 known emperor penguin colonies. Additionally, the Arctic sea ice extent is reported to be nearly identical to that observed 35 years ago.
Green shows where there is more ice than 1980. Red shows where there is less ice than 1980. #ClimateScam https://t.co/l7lR5iJ5Zm https://t.co/nZ0Fh4Hvn8
Antarctica lost chicks from 14 of its 66 emperor penguin colonies due to record low sea ice levels. That’s according to a new study from British Antarctic Survey (@BAS_News). Researchers used satellite images to monitor the continent’s known emperor penguin colonies. 1/5 https://t.co/MrAPTdNwtA
