🌍 Today at the UN, we presented 2 million+ signatures calling for fossil-fuel companies to pay for the climate damage they cause. The powerful response: “Polluters must pay… We are with you. Use every tool at your disposal to hold the polluters accountable. You are on the right side of history."

As the sea ice refreeze begins by late September, we start the season with the largest Arctic amplification trends (boreal fall)... Heat absorbed in the upper ocean gets exchanged into the overlying atmosphere.

Data from ERA5 reanalysis. More info on Arctic climate at: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

Polar stereographic map of 2-m temperature trends in units of °C per decade over the Arctic for the month of September. Trends are calculated over the 1979 to 2025 period using ERA5. The largest warming is an areas of open water that were previously sea ice covered along the Siberian side of the Arctic. These trends exceed 1°C/decade.

Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 12th lowest on record (JAXA data)

• about 130,000 km² above the 2010s mean
• about 990,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 2,000,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,710,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Line graph time series of 2026's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2025. 2026 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between August and October by looking at the decadal average line positions.
