Record-Breaking Lows in World’s Sea Ice Worries Scientists as It Poses Danger to the Environment

Scientists are witnessing record-breaking lows in sea ice extent, reaching far beyond what many expect.

Arctic and Antarctic ice acts as the planet’s reflective shield, bouncing solar radiation back into space.

As the ice melts, the darker ocean surface absorbs more heat, intensifying global warming.

Thawing permafrost is unlocking ancient carbon reserves, potentially triggering a feedback loop of unstoppable warming.
