This year the ice in the started out at record low levels, it did not match the minimum of 2012, and then it went all wrong in the regrowth of the ice. It is not refreezing into the areas that it should do and we are moving into new, frightening territory. If the ice does not form, the jet stream becomes unstable and Europe and America can have extremely unusual weather.
There are reports regarding the sensitivity of the world’s climate and how it can change rapidly and without warning. A tipping point which we might be watching now. This year the ice in the started out at record low levels, it did not match the minimum of 2012, and then it went all wrong in the regrowth of the ice. It is not refreezing into the areas that it should do and we are moving into new, frightening territory. If the ice does not form, the jet stream becomes unstable and Europe and America can have extremely unusual weather. Just in case we in the Southern hemisphere think we are safe, the winter sea ice has stopped increasing as it had been and we now have a record low. I suggest that you watch Paul Beckwith explain the science and the implications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOo1TmaZi2U
