5. ANTARCTIC SEA ICE HITS RECORD LOW
Seasonal variations in the extent of Antarctic sea ice. Bad news arrived in February from scientists monitoring the Antarctic ice cap. The extent of floating sea ice surrounding the frosty continent shrank to a record low as the southern summer peaked, to only 66% of the levels usually present at this time of the year.
That is a cool graphic. I've seen one for the Arctic as well, both are them are far more telling I believe than the endless discussions and whatnot. There is ice. Then there isn't. Would someone care to explain why, other than...you know...stuff is warmer now?
