According to a chilling new study, we could be closer than anyone imagined to ice-free summers in the Arctic.
Scientists have issued a chilling warning. According to new research, ice-free Arctic summers could be a reality within the next decade. Scientists say the waters found around the Arctic could be mostly water during the summer months as early as 2035 if fossil fuel emissions continue at the current pace. These are huge concerns, too.
Further, they say that the current estimates show we could have consistently ice-free Septembers in the Arctic anywhere between 2035 and 2067. The exact year that it happens, though, is really dependent on how quickly the world can reduce the amount of fossil fuels being burned. Scientists continue to come up with new ideas on how to combat climate change. But, we have yet to see a solid idea that enough people are pushing to actually make a difference. It gets worse, though.
