This would have been really exotic if it hadn't also been there the year before!

“The impacts of #Antarctic #SeaIce staying low for over twenty years would be profound, including on local and global weather,” #LouiseSime, a co-author on the #BAS [#BritishAntarcticSurvey] study, said in a statement."

"....we have solid observations of what is going on.”
"In a separate study, also published Monday, researchers from the #BritishAntarcticSurvey looked at the reasons for the record low levels of sea ice surrounding Antarctica last year...used #ClimateModels to predict the potential speed of recovery from such extreme sea ice loss and found that 👉even after two decades,...
Scientists at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have found that the record-low levels of sea ice around Antarctica in 2023 were extremely unlikely to happen without the influence of climate change. This low was a one-in-a-2000-year event without climate change and four times more likely under its effects. The results are published (20 May) in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, in a paper titled "CMIP6 models rarely simulate Antarctic winter sea-ice anomalies as large as observed in 2023."
Examining satellite images, researchers from the #BritishAntarcticSurvey found that the then record drop in #SeaIce in late 2022 could have killed thousands of #EmperorPenguin chicks. The usually stable sea ice that colonies rely on to rear their young in the #BellingshausenSea just wasn’t there, likely causing a “catastrophic breeding failure”. #ClimateCrisis
