Recent studies and observations have raised alarms over the rapidly changing conditions in the Arctic, with scientists highlighting an unprecedented temperature anomaly of 38 degrees Celsius and a significant reduction in sea ice. A temperature anomaly of 38 degrees Celsius, described as the largest ever recorded on Earth, has drawn concern alongside the shrinking Arctic Ocean sea ice, which is occurring faster than previously anticipated. Researchers are now warning that the Arctic could experience its first 'ice-free' summers within the next decade, indicating an abrupt critical transition in the continent's sea ice. This shift is seen as further evidence of a 'regime shift' in the Arctic's climate, suggesting an accelerated impact of global warming in the region.
Ice-free summers in Arctic possible within next decade, scientists say https://t.co/I39SX3jCwl
New research has found that Arctic Ocean sea ice is shrinking even faster than previously thought — and that the Arctic may start to see its first “ice-free” days within the current decade. https://t.co/AVwpG8Hj3k
The Arctic could become '#ice-free' within a decade, say scientists https://t.co/XPNhNMIK2K
