A study finds that the first complete disappearance of Arctic sea ice could occur during the 2030s, a decade earlier than previously forecast.

1. If this is true, wouldn’t a lot of coastal cities already be underwater. I believe in the climate emergency butt his seems a bit hyperbolic.

2. BOE or bust kids!

3. The party starts in the 2030s. Looking forward to it

4. Sad part is oil companies will try to drill there

5. Thank You Big Oil.

6. Pff, if it isnt boe by 2025, i would be shocked.

   The surface area is decreasing and might trend downward to zero by sometime in the 2030s, if the warming increases for the el nino (spring 2024 and then downwards) then slumps for a while.

   But much of the arctic ice has reached paper thin, in areas that were once meters thick. Doing the model using only satallite surface area is going to result in later date than a model including sea ice thickness and age.

7. Next article is gonna say by 2025

8. RIP Polar Bears.
