During May, the rate of Antarctic sea ice growth was slow relative to the 1981-2010 average, but faster than 2023. As of 6/1, Antarctic sea ice extent was 10.52 MM sq km (4.06 MM sq miles) which is 1.14 MM sq km (440,000 sq mi) below the 1981-2010 average. bit.ly/4e7Y8Q0 pic.twitter.com/HTIyYg5u4X

Just attending a 3-day workshop on the danger of abrupt ocean circulation changes. Discussions are quite worrying. E.g. in 35 to 45 % of high quality models, convection in the open North Atlantic collapses in the 2030s due to #globalheating. -> Major climate disruption. ☹️ pic.twitter.com/NQ8ckrdLGA
