Temperature rise from end 2022 through February 28, 2025, with two trends added. The black linear trend shows a steady rise of about 0.5°C over the three years from end 2022 to end 2025. The red trend warns that an even steeper rise could occur soon. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/mech...

Arctic sea ice volume through March 1, 2025. The image shows that Arctic sea ice volume in 2024 and 2025 to date has been much lower than in previous years. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/mech...

The Arctic melt season looks set to start with the lowest Arctic sea ice area on record for the time of year. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/mech...

Global sea ice area is currently very low, resulting in less sunlight getting reflected back into space and more heat getting absorbed at the surface instead. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/mech...

Antarctic sea ice area was 1.22 million km² on Feb 28, 2025, almost as low as the 1.05 million km² recorded on Feb 22, 2023, raising alarms that a Double Blue Ocean Event could occur in 2025, i.e. both for the Antarctic sea ice and for the Arctic sea ice. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/mech...

Low global sea ice area threatens a Blue Ocean Event to occur in the Arctic later this year, especially since Arctic sea ice volume is at a record low for the time of year. The image shows Arctic sea ice volume on Feb 15, 2025. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/shou...

Antarctic sea ice is moving toward 1 million km² in area, a threshold when a Blue Ocean Event could be declared in the Southern Hemisphere. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/shou...

An Antarctic Blue Ocean Event alone would dramatically increase temperatures. Persistent low Antarctic and Arctic sea ice area combined also threatens a Blue Ocean Event to occur in the Arctic later this year. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/shou...

La Niña conditions are present. Temperatures are typically suppressed during La Niña. Nonetheless, the global surface air temperature reached 13.31°C on Feb 10, 2025, or 0.67°C above 1991-2020, according to ERA5 data. Temperatures keep rising, despite La Niña arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/shou...

A temperature rise of 3°C or more in 2050 is projected in China for three scenarios. China has a well-educated population. Of global emissions, much is released in China. Some countries face even more dire prospects. Do people know? Shouldn't people be told? arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/shou...

Monthly temperature anomalies have been above 1.5°C vs 1903-1924 for 19 consecutive months (July 2023 through January 2025).

Daily average CO₂ at Mauna Loa was 428.60 ppm on February 6, 2025, the highest daily average on record, indicating that CO₂ emissions are rising fast while carbon sinks are weakening. To find higher levels, one needs to go back millions of years (inset). arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/carb...
