Hottest September Ever Recorded

Well these records seem to be falling by the wayside quickly. Last month we learned that arctic summer sea ice had shrunk to its smallest extent ever. By a lot. Today we learn that this past September tied September...Show More Summary
Antarctic Ice Expanding From Global Warming, Scientists Say
Antarctic ice has been spreading, reaching a record 7.51 million square miles in September, just days before it was reported that the Arctic sea has seen the biggest loss on record this year. The gain of Antarctic sea ice is a big story for climate change skeptics, who argue that the globe isn’t really [...]Show More Summary
Arctic Sea Ice in Free Fall
Comparing recent melt seasons with historical records spanning more than 1,400 years shows summer Arctic sea ice in free fall
Arctic Sea Ice in Free Fall
The North Pole is losing its ice cap. Comparing recent melt seasons with historical records spanning more than 1,400 years shows summer Arctic sea ice in free fall. Many scientists believe that the Arctic Ocean will be ice-free in the summertime within the next decade or two, and some say that this could occur as early as 2016.
Fox Nation Science: "Global Warming Means More Arctic Ice"
Fox Nation is linking to a recent Associated Press story, using the headline "AP: Global Warming Means More Arctic Ice." In fact, Arctic sea ice cover fell to the lowest yearly minimum extent ever recorded just last month. The AP article...Show More Summary
Polar Opposites: Why the Loss of Arctic Sea Ice is not Balanced Out by More Ice in the Antarctic
In September, news media widely reported the record-breaking drop in Arctic sea ice extent. The National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported that the extent of Arctic sea ice reached a record minimum this year on Sept. 16. The extent naturally varies throughout the year and reaches its minimum for the Northern Hemisphere summer [...]
Nathan Currier: Saving the Arctic Ice: Greenpeace, Greenwashing and Geoengineering (#1)
That's right: the volume of arctic sea ice this September minimum was probably about half of what it was, just back in 2007. This figure should deeply trouble any reasonable human being.
Could artificial trees solve the global warming crisis? [Geoengineering]
We've known about the effects of climate change for decades now, but the past few years (and even months) have been particularly revealing. This past year, for instance, we've seen arctic sea ice levels reach an historic low, while the United States has experienced its worst wildfire season on record (not to mention all the new temperature records).

An Illustrated Guide To 2012 Record Arctic Sea Ice Melt
The Arctic sea ice minimum volume dropped sharply this year. Data from PIOMAS, Graph by L. Hamilton By Nevin Acropolis via the Arctic Sea Ice Blog We already knew a few weeks ago that the PIOMAS sea ice volume record had been broken, but with the latest data release by the Polar Science Center at [...]
Time to think in 3D about Arctic Sea Ice
The recent rash of news alerts about the all-time-low, end of summer, Arctic sea ice extent has certainly given new food for thought about the state of the climate. Of course we shouldn’t be entirely surprised by this state of affairs as more rapid warming at the poles was anticipated long before the issue of rising emissions became a reality that we would have to deal with.
Renee Parsons: Pentagon Study Cites Climate Change as National Security Threat
Even before recent predictions that Arctic sea ice would melt by the summer of 2016, the Pentagon and the Center for Naval Analyses's Military Advisory Board had already gone on record warning about the impacts of climate change as a threat to national security.

Running the Numbers on Antarctic Sea Ice
The agency that tracks polar ice says that winter coverage of sea ice in Antarctica set a 33-year high last month. But that trend is dwarfed by what's happening in the Arctic.
Arctic sea ice shatters previous low records; Antarctic sea ice edges to record high
This September, sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean fell to the lowest extent in the satellite record, which began in 1979. Satellite data showed that the sea ice cover reached its lowest extent on September 16. Sea ice extent averaged for the month of September was also the lowest in the satellite record.
Arctic sea ice at lowest level ever: Losses accelerating over last decade
The extent of sea ice has been decreasing for decades, but its melting has accelerated within the last ten years. The shrinking is in line with global warming, researchers say.
EcoAlert: High-Arctic Summer Heat at 1800-Year Record
Recent temperature measurements show that the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, with sea ice this summer shrinking to its smallest extent on record. Natural feedbacks are amplifying the warming as loss of reflective...
Video: Melting Sea Ice Has Changed Life in Greenland
This story first appeared on the Guardian website and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Sea ice in the Arctic has shrunk to its smallest extent ever recorded, smashing the previous record minimum and prompting warnings of accelerated climate change. Show More Summary
Sea ice News, Volume 3 Number 14 – Antarctic Sea ice near record high of 2007
While the Arctic recently set a new record low, lower than that of 2007, the Antarctic is at near record highs similar to that of 2007 according to University of Illinois Cryosphere Today data: Here are the values: 2007.7206 1.1396104 … Continue reading ?
Hotter than Paul Ryan
Last week, the National Snow and Ice Data Center, in Boulder, Colorado, announced that the Arctic sea ice had reached a new low. The sea ice shrinks in the summer and grows again during winter’s long polar night. It usually reaches its minimum extent in mid-September. Show More Summary
