I wonder how the results would be if they measure the average for the year instead of only the coldest months. I say that because I suppose that ice, just like snow doesn't exactly match with temperature.

- zcar 2y agoThe article is about the artic sea and so was my comment. That link is about global temperature.
- martinpw 2y agoYou can see it on the interactive tool here: https://nsidc.org/sea-ice-today/sea-ice-tools/charctic-interactive-sea-ice-graph https://nsidc.org/sea-ice-today/sea-ice-tools/charctic-inter... You can click on individual years, but the decade average plots are the most revealing. You can see the average has dropped significantly each decade, and the drop is actually larger in the warmer months (~35%) than in the colder months (~10%) for the year range 1980 to 2020.
- zcar 2y agoJust checked the link. While average is decreasing for the artic sea, average is slightly increasing in the Antarctic. Which makes me think, since most of the ice is on actual land and not on the ocean. Is there another tool that tracks ice on land?
