#Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 10th lowest on record (JAXA data) • about 40,000 km² above the 2010s mean • about 350,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 760,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 1,220,000 km² below the 1980s mean Plots: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-extentconcentration/ pic.twitter.com/B608V803wv

Based on the linear trend, since 1979, April has lost 1.61 million square kilometers (622,000 square miles) of Arctic sea ice, which is roughly equivalent to 6 times the size of Colorado. April 2024 had the highest sea ice extent for the month in 12 years. bit.ly/4bt8K9X pic.twitter.com/bFZJYiC69R
