Both the Arctic and Antarctic are significantly below their usual extents — that is, the area of the ocean covered by ice. That’s in part because the Arctic is an astonishing 36 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than usual as winter begins in the Northern Hemisphere.
This is wildly unusual, and a reality that emerges from trends associated from climate change. But it also doesn’t necessarily mean we’ve stepped suddenly over the threshold into some new climate era.
Instead, according to Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), what we’re seeing is a kind of giant, scary global coincidence — the kind we should expect to see much more often as the world warms.
Here’s why.
