The decline of sea ice in the Arctic has been accelerating during the early twenty-first century, with a decline rate of 4.7% per decade (it has declined over 50% since the first satellite records). [48] [49] [50] Summertime sea ice will likely cease to exist sometime during the 21st century. [51] The region is at its warmest in at least 4,000 ...
Sea ice in the Arctic region has declined in recent decades in area and volume due to climate change. It has been melting more in summer than it refreezes in winter. Global warming, caused by greenhouse gas forcing is responsible for the decline in Arctic sea ice. The decline of sea ice in the Arctic has been accelerating during the early ...

The 2023 sea ice cover was 50 to 80 per cent lower than the winter average recorded between 1991 and 2020 in key regions like the Weddell, Ross, and Bellingshausen seas.
The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC) is a report about the effects of climate change on the world's seas, sea ice, icecaps and glaciers. It was approved at the IPCC's 51st Session (IPCC-51) in September 2019 in Monaco. [1]
Record-breaking low levels of sea ice around Antarctica in 2023 may have been influenced by climate change, scientists have said. Researchers at the the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) analysed ...
The sheet is a mass of glacial land ice and is an integral part of Earth’s climate system helping to reflect the sun’s warm rays and keep the Arctic cool, regulating sea level, and influencing ...
The long-term effects of climate change on oceans include further ice melt, ocean warming, sea level rise, ocean acidification and ocean deoxygenation. [208] The timescale of long-term impacts are centuries to millennia due to CO 2 's long atmospheric lifetime. [209]
