Main Topic: Antarctica Sea Ice Just Hit a Record Low

Dear Diary. Climate scientists over the last few decades have been scratching their heads concerning Antarctic Sea areal ice extent. Like Arctic areal sea ice, Antarctic sea ice extent should be decreasing with time according to most climate models. We now know that Antarctic sea ice extent had been increasing recently due to polar vortex behavior over that continent, trapping anomalously cold air around the southern polar area in recent years.

Finally, this trend broke this year, an event that has put another nail in the coffin of climate change denialists. This is all bad news, though, since Antarctic sea ice helps to radiate incoming solar radiation back into space helping go protect glaciers such as Thwaites the doomsday glacier from disintegrating.

Here are more details from the Washington Post:
