Have a great weekend! Here's your Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *2nd* lowest on record (JAXA data)...

• about 720,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,390,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 2,010,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,520,000 km² below the 1980s mean

@ZLabe Sue and I made a bet about this last night. The New Year will see who won. Wow though.

It’s really really hard to stay focused just now. Thanks for these posts btw.

@kplklink Thank you for your support!
