Loss of thicker July sea ice from 1979 to 2025... Note that I have masked out sea ice < 1.5 meters in order to emphasize the decline of the (relative) thicker ice. Data from PIOMAS. You can compare this animation with a more realistic version here: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...
Downstream causal chain activity (tectonic plate shifts and lithosphere/mantle dynamics, ocean currents)…concerning as well .
Could lose all the ice any year now. Just 1 bad heat wave. We still have a month to go this year too so still could happen.
Greenland is currently experiencing melt conditions typical of July.

BOE in 2035 is my prediction.
