D1g1talDrag0n@ZLabe the data this year although “normal” is going to look very skewed. This is due to global “ship tracks” and the change of fuel requirements to burning cleaner oil.
@hankgreen talks about it here.

@D1g1talDrag0n @hankgreen No, that story is highly oversimplified and even misleading. The lack of sea ice is mostly due to the Antarctic, which is being affected by an unusually strong/displaced Amundsen Sea Low, warmer ocean waters, and an active Southern Ocean storm track.
@ZLabe @hankgreen if you have a link, I would love to read it! I’m sure Hank would also!
