Arctic warming and loss of sea ice may be helping to drive cold air southward, into the US and Europe, according to recent studies.
Arctic Sea Ice Thinning: Fall
Fall view: Arctic sea ice has been getting thinner – even faster than its area has been shrinking.
All the Ice on Greenland
Greenland holds enough ice to raise global sea level 23 feet – or to fill the Lower 48 states 2,940 feet high, like a bathtub.
Arctic Sea Ice Thinning: Winter
Winter view: Arctic sea ice has been getting thinner – even faster than its area has been shrinking.
Greenland Annual Ice Loss 2004-07
Greenland’s estimated ice loss each year from 2004 through 2007.
Greenland Total Ice Loss 2004-07
Greenland has been losing large amounts of ice into the sea – enough to collect into rafts the size of states.
