There is some good news about the climate this summer.
In regards to Arctic Ice coverage:
"We may have reached the area minimum on 9/1....we're currently about 75k above the 9/1 value of 3.19 million sq km. Still a bit too precarious to call it, but if we had a 9/1 area min, that would be the earliest min since 1992."
Also this is happening this week
