All Arctic ice could melt by 2027, warn scientists

.

An alarming new study reveals that the Arctic could experience its first summer with nearly all sea ice melted as early as 2027, marking a significant milestone in climate change.

An international research team, including climatologists Alexandra Jahn from the University of Colorado Boulder and Celine Heuze from the University of Gothenburg, utilised advanced computer models to predict the timing of this unprecedented event.

The research indicates that the Arctic sea ice is diminishing at an unprecedented rate of over 12% per decade due to rising greenhouse gas emissions.

This year, the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported that the Arctic sea ice minimum was recorded at 4.28 million square kilometers, one of the lowest levels since records began in 1978.
