The three regions with a most notorious sea ice area reduction in the summer last year were the East Siberian Sea Ice Area, the Chukchi Sea Ice Area and the Arctic Basin Sea Ice Arsea ice area reduction in the summer last year were the East Siberian Sea Ice Area, the Chukchi Sea Ice Area and the Arctic Basin Sea Ice Arice area reduction in the summer last year were the East Siberian Sea Ice Area, the Chukchi Sea Ice Area and the Arctic Basin Sea Ice ArSea Ice Area, the Chukchi Sea Ice Area and the Arctic Basin Sea Ice ArIce Area, the Chukchi Sea Ice Area and the Arctic Basin Sea Ice ArSea Ice Area and the Arctic Basin Sea Ice ArIce Area and the Arctic Basin Sea Ice ArSea Ice ArIce Area.

The article in The Independent makes its predictions based on the increased speed of reduction of the Sea Ice Area compared to last year.

The corresponding future temperatures in Greenland are comparable to those inferred for the last interglacial period 125,000 years ago, when paleoclimatic information suggests reductions of polar land ice extent and 4 to 6 m of sea level rise.

The influence of anthropogenic forcing has also been detected in various physical systems over the last 50 years, including increases in global oceanic heat content, increases in sea level, shrinking of alpine glaciers, reductions in Arctic sea ice extent, and reductions in spring snow cover (Hegerl et al., 2007).

For anyone else interested (and please correct me if I get this wrong, Judy) the reduction of sea ice extent for September is more pronounced than any other month over the last ~ 30 years.

Drastic reductions in Arctic sea ice in the last decade may be intensifying the chemical release of bromine into the atmosphere, resulting in ground - level ozone depletion and the deposit of toxic mercury in the Arctic, according to a new NASA - led study.

Post-glacial rebound - The vertical movement of the land and sea floor following the reduction of the load of an ice mass, for example, since the Last Glacial Maximum (21 ka).

Both the observations of mass balance and the estimates based on temperature changes (Table 11.4) indicate a reduction of mass of glaciers and ice caps in the recent past, giving a contribution to global - average sea level of 0.2 to 0.4 mm / yr over the last hundred years.

Last September, the Royal Society hosted a Workshop on Arctic sea ice reduction: the evidence, models, and global impacts.

Based on the last 20 years, the reduction in sea ice cover and its thickness have enhanced the warming of the Arctic throughout the year.

Predictions of future sea - level rise and reduction in volume of ice sheets are consistent with what the evidence indicates during the Last Interglacial.

Higher levels of sea salts favor reduction processes and thus GEM destruction in the snow interstitial air (30), but no long - term trends have been reported for sea salt impurities deposited on the Greenland ice sheet during the last century (33).

Nevertheless, as I have said, the impact of the reductions in Arctic sea ice extent, which we have seen in the last few years on our winter climate, is only one of a number of factors, and certainly last year was probably not the dominant factor.

The last time the polar regions were significantly warmer than present for an extended period (about 125,000 years ago with Co2 at 287ppm), reductions in polar ice volume led to 4 to 6 meters of sea level rise.

The Last Interglacial was also a period with higher global sea - level and a corresponding reduction in ice sheet area and volume, which are consistent with IPCC predictions for responses to future global warming.
