Arctic ice levels logged in the last two years have reached record lows, while per decade they have dropped on average since 1979 to 2020 by nearly 13%. The warming of the Arctic Ocean is contributing to an estimated near 4% of the entire global ocean warming. A near 90% reduction of average sea ice thickness has been witnessed in the Barents Sea (a small part of the Arctic), which has led to a decrease in sea ice import from the polar basin. Globally, average sea temperatures went up at a rate of 0.015 celsius per year from 1993-2019. Check out another chapter in AN IMPENDING CALAMITY.
