The fear built into all of us made this happen. We are becoming poor in our minds because we trade our lives for profit. We do not train our minds to see, to be in a state of awareness. We are blindโa poor nation, with ugly values, illusions created by fear. We cannot face the fear we are running from; instead, we feed it with pleasure.

Quick look at August sea surface temperature trends across the #Arctic, which are warming nearly everywhere that sea ice is not found. We'll have an update on this in our next Arctic Report Card, which will be released in December.

July 2024 data is now available for both Antarctic sea-ice thickness/volume (zacklabe.com/antarctic-sea-iceโฆ) and global sea-ice volume (zacklabe.com/global-sea-ice-exโฆ) from GIOMAS.
Last month's global sea-ice volume has fallen to near-record low levels for the month of July in this dataset.

Join me in tracking this year's #Arctic sea ice minimum!
Sea ice melt substantially slows every September as solar energy decreases and temperatures drop in the far north.

Due to anomalous conditions ongoing in the #Arctic and #Antarctic, the total extent of sea ice globally is a record low for the date and nearly *4 million square kilometers* below the 1981-2010 average...
