Look at this dip during the last week !
Source : ClimateReanalyser.org and NSIDC
Could it be an anomaly with satellite imaging, a random statistical blip, or is something huge just about to start ?

    I have no idea what this data is, but I have the gut feeling that we are fucked

        That we are not completely fucked yet on climate change has been false for quite a while.

        Factoring in our societies, there was never any chance we would change, and feedback loops are already amplifying, that is what will sink us. The permafrost melting will overwhelm the planet’s ability to absorb carbon. Yay for anaroebic life!

      This has been my gut reaction for the last years of climate related news, lately extending to all other news as well….

          Binface just showed us a path to reform candidates though. He got solid numbers, 26 percent or something. With a blended joke/real candidate, we could win.

          Regardless the US needs this organization of joke candidates that the UK has. I forget what they call it. Loony something.

      this is showing the history of area (quantity) of sea covered by ice around Antarctica (South), with each curve being a different year.

      In this context, less sea ice is bad news. It is winter there, so the overall ice is still strong. Summer is what matters most (you can see the months on the chart.) Although, leaving winter with less sea ice can make the summer ice situation worse.
